This still means that the attribute or argument is defined as an 
EventListener though, so it works for idl languages too.

However, that sentence doesn't mean that all Function objects are 
EventListeners and the other way around. It just means that when a 
Function can be treated as an EventListener object. They are still 
Function objects though.
