Indeed. I'll push it in with this comment:
/* Evaluate a function call. The function to be called is in
ARGVEC[0] and the arguments passed to the function are in
ARGVEC[1..NARGS]. FUNCTION_NAME is the name of the function, if
known. DEFAULT_RETURN_TYPE is used as the function's return type
if the return type is unknown. */
