I assume it is impossible in IDL to create VOID functions,
i.e. something that could be used as follows:
my_function(x)
Instead of using the standard procedure call:
my_function,x
Thanks.

What would be the point? And, anyway, typing the
procedure takes one less key stroke, reducing the
potential error by almost 10 percent. :-)
