Only functions that call FooBar() change. That's exactly the same as
xslt. The analogy is xsl:template match="FooBar" is a function
definition and <FooBar> is the function call. If you (re) define the
template that matches FooBar then the processing of FooBar elements
changes That's not Fragile, it's how it's expected to be, surely.
