evaluate

NAME

evaluate() - evaluate a function pointer

SYNOPSIS

mixed evaluate(mixed f, ...)

DESCRIPTION

If f is a function, f is called with the rest of the arguments.  Other‐
wise, f is returned.  evaluate(f, ...) is the same as (*f)(...).

SYNTAX SUGAR

FluffOS supports simplified syntax for invoking function pointers:

```c
function f = (: add :);

// Traditional syntax
int result = evaluate(f, 5, 3);

// Simplified syntax (equivalent)
int result = f(5, 3);

// Legacy syntax (also works)
int result = (*f)(5, 3);
```

All three forms are functionally equivalent. The simplified `f(args)` syntax
is recommended for new code as it's cleaner and more intuitive.
