What do you mean by "older"? Why did you choose to also include the "func" feature?

PRISM defines different ways to call a built-in function ; IIRC, we should now use « func (builtin, param, param) », albeit, for backward compatibility, « builtin (param, param) » is kept.

Any rationale?

Esoteric programming languages aren't reasonable.
