At least, in both cases the programmer cannot express his *intention* to reuse an already defined thing. I pretend, but may be wrong, that a programmer who writes "[square]" means "use square's definition", not "create a new func that simply happens to have a single term, namely 'square'". In other words, the programmer probably intends to refer to whatever is called "square" -- not to build a new unnamed func. Again, I maybe wrong.
