+# Usage: _funcall <return> <name> [ <args> ... ]
+#
+# If a function named <name> is defined (or defined to be autoloaded),
+# it is called. If <return> is given not the string `-' or empty, it is
+# taken as the name of a parameter and the return status of the function
+# called is stored in this parameter. All other arguments are given
+# to the function called.
+# The return value of this function is zero if the function was
+# called and non-zero otherwise.
