Peter>AFAICT in no case does it involve allowing functions to be called as
procedures or vice versa.

Oracle DB uses the same way to execute both procedures and functions:
pl/sql block.

For instance:
procedure) begin my_proc(); end;
function) begin :result := my_fun(); end;

Call like begin my_fun(); end; would fail.
However there's no dedicated command to call procedures or a command to
call functions.
