I'm not satisfied by that response, as it does not address the particulars of
my original comment -- specifically, the distinction between a function and a
function call. From your response, I still have no idea which you actually
intend.

I strongly disagree. Sure, there's no misunderstanding that you're defining an
equivalence (and I never questioned that), but there's certainly still room for
misunderstanding about the things being defined as equivalent.

Let me try a different tack. Do you think the definition would mean the same
thing if it said "the semantics of a call to the constructor function ..." ?

If you do, then consider this a request to make that change.

If you don't think it would mean the same thing, then perhaps you understand
the distinction I was making in the original post.
