I did think about that, and deliberately decided to go with
'function', since from a newbie perspective toplevel methods *are*
functions.
Pros: Clear, conceptually simple to understand, a useful and
for-the-moment accurate model of what's happening
Cons: Technically incorrect, but to explain the difference would delve
into ruby's object model a bit too soon.
