Documentation for each Builtin function will begin with the name of the builtin, followed by the arguments that are used to define the builtin. Arguments to builtins must be enclosed within parentheses ( ). Note that each Builtin function argument is denoted by < >. When there are multiple arguments, they must be separated by a comma. Occasionally, there will be opportunity to include optional arguments when defining the Builtin function. Optional arguments are denoted by square brackets [ ]. Thus, the form of a Builtin function in the following documentation is:
When it is appropriate, an example is provided.
