/// A mapping from argument values to a return value.
///
/// You can call a function by writing a comma-separated list of function
/// _arguments_ enclosed in parentheses directly after the function name.
/// Additionally, you can pass any number of trailing content blocks arguments
/// to a function _after_ the normal argument list. If the normal argument list
/// would become empty, it can be omitted. Typst supports positional and named
/// arguments. The former are identified by position and type, while the latter
/// are written as `name: value`.
///
/// Within math mode, function calls have special behaviour. See the
/// [math documentation]($category/math) for more details.
///
/// # Example
/// ```example
/// // Call a function.
/// #list([A], [B])
///
/// // Named arguments and trailing
/// // content blocks.
/// #enum(start: 2)[A][B]
///
/// // Version without parentheses.
/// #list[A][B]
/// ```
///
/// Functions are a fundamental building block of Typst. Typst provides
/// functions for a variety of typesetting tasks. Moreover, the markup you write
/// is backed by functions and all styling happens through functions. This
/// reference lists all available functions and how you can use them. Please
/// also refer to the documentation about [set]($styling/#set-rules) and
/// [show]($styling/#show-rules) rules to learn about additional ways you can
/// work with functions in Typst.
///
/// # Element functions
/// Some functions are associated with _elements_ like [headings]($heading) or
/// [tables]($table). When called, these create an element of their respective
/// kind. In contrast to normal functions, they can further be used in [set
/// rules]($styling/#set-rules), [show rules]($styling/#show-rules), and
/// [selectors]($selector).
///
/// # Function scopes
/// Functions can hold related definitions in their own scope, similar to a
/// [module]($scripting/#modules). Examples of this are
/// [`assert.eq`]($assert.eq) or [`list.item`]($list.item). However, this
/// feature is currently only available for built-in functions.
///
/// # Defining functions
/// You can define your own function with a [let binding]($scripting/#bindings)
/// that has a parameter list after the binding's name. The parameter list can
/// contain mandatory positional parameters, named parameters with default
/// values and [argument sinks]($arguments).
///
/// The right-hand side of a function binding is the function body, which can be
/// a block or any other expression. It defines the function's return value and
/// can depend on the parameters. If the function body is a [code
/// block]($scripting/#blocks), the return value is the result of joining the
/// values of each expression in the block.
///
/// Within a function body, the `return` keyword can be used to exit early and
/// optionally specify a return value. If no explicit return value is given, the
/// body evaluates to the result of joining all expressions preceding the
/// `return`.
///
/// Functions that don't return any meaningful value return [`none`] instead.
/// The return type of such functions is not explicitly specified in the
/// documentation. (An example of this is [`array.push`]).
///
/// ```example
/// #let alert(body, fill: red) = {
///   set text(white)
///   set align(center)
///   rect(
///     fill: fill,
///     inset: 8pt,
///     radius: 4pt,
///     [*Warning:\ #body*],
///   )
/// }
///
/// #alert[
///   Danger is imminent!
/// ]
///
/// #alert(fill: blue)[
///   KEEP OFF TRACKS
/// ]
/// ```
///
/// # Importing functions
/// Functions can be imported from one file ([`module`]($scripting/#modules)) into
/// another using `{import}`. For example, assume that we have defined the `alert`
/// function from the previous example in a file called `foo.typ`. We can import
/// it into another file by writing `{import "foo.typ": alert}`.
///
/// # Unnamed functions { #unnamed }
/// You can also created an unnamed function without creating a binding by
/// specifying a parameter list followed by `=>` and the function body. If your
/// function has just one parameter, the parentheses around the parameter list
/// are optional. Unnamed functions are mainly useful for show rules, but also
/// for settable properties that take functions like the page function's
/// [`footer`]($page.footer) property.
///
/// ```example
/// #show "once?": it => [#it #it]
/// once?
/// ```
///
/// # Note on function purity
/// In Typst, all functions are _pure._ This means that for the same
/// arguments, they always return the same result. They cannot "remember" things to
/// produce another value when they are called a second time.
///
/// The only exception are built-in methods like
/// [`array.push(value)`]($array.push). These can modify the values they are
/// called on.
