   Please ignore the last sentence. - I was speaking about reserved   
   words or keywords and not about function names in the context of   
   the paragraph. - So it depends in what way you introduce elements   
   like 'odd'. As a "C" function it wouldn't matter much. In case of   
   "your language" - where you say it's a keyword! - it would matter,   
   though!
