  You did, and it was noted.  Unfortunately there is a lot of code wrapped
  up around the name function and I fear that trying to figure out how to
  rename them will slow the implementation of documentation.  Since
  "function" only exists in the ID name and the URL name, I decided to fix
  that later, since the change could be automated, and only exists within
  the application documentation in a single place.

  I'm hoping that someone will come forward to tinker with the internals of
  how the documentation is auto-generated (function/application indexes are
  automatically generated rather than manually, and I don't want to muck it
  up at this point).
