  [Functions][] can be values too! You can't directly write a function as a
  value, but you can pass a function's name to the [`meta.get-function()`
  function][] to get it as a value. Once you have a function value, you can pass
  it to the [`meta.call()` function][] to call it. This is useful for writing
  *higher-order functions* that call other functions.

  [`meta.call()` function]: /documentation/modules/meta#call
