+Note that there is also \lstinline!function_name(inexpr1, inexpr2);! which calls the given function or operator.
+It behaves similarly to a simple equation (calling the function or operator), even if it uses a different production in the grammar.
+It is used for special operators like \lstinline!reinit! (\cref{reinit}), \lstinline!assert! (\cref{assert}), and \lstinline!terminate! (\cref{terminate}).

+If the function has any outputs they will be ignored.
+That case is not recommended, but it is allowed to avoid having special rules in function-subtyping \cref{function-compatibility-or-function-subtyping-for-functions}.
