Subject: What is a "special function"?

Message-ID: <56685@microsoft.UUCP> (raw)
Hi! Could someone please clarify something in the LRM for me? I've
been looking at the definitions of all of the attributes, and I noticed
something for the first time. At least 5 of the attributes are described as
"functions", but 1 of the attributes is described as a "special function".
The regular ones ('IMAGE, 'POS, 'PRED, 'SUCC, and 'VALUE) don't seem to be
much different from the "special" one ('VAL). I haven't been able to
find anything in the LRM (or the index to the Rationale that I have)
on this. So, can anyone tell me what a "special function" is?
If you'd like to look it up for yourself, the sections of the LRM are
3.5.5(7) and Annex A(48).
Thanks in advance,
