An expression needs a symbol as it's car.  If the symbol has a
function-value, that function is called.  If you want to call a function
that isn't bound to a symbol, you use FUNCALL.   In pseudo-scheme
is might be defined is (lambda (f args) (f args)). FUNCTION is the accessor
for the function-value of a symbol.
