No, I am not - see footnote to my posting. When is something which looks 
like a function application not actually a function application?

Other languages have their own magic of course. In C/Pascal derived 
languages you have 'lvalues' and 'rvalues', and the assignment operator 
takes an lvalue on the left and an rvalue on the right. The special 
semantics are highlighted by special syntax.

Anyway, this is way off topic. Sorry.
