    <thetext>Hi,

The function-lookup() function name is a bit too long and unwieldy eg

fold-left(function-lookup($my-qname, 2).....

Is it possible to also have a shorthand version of just f() ?  

fold-left(f($my-qname, 2).....

...or some other single character symbol?

thanks
andrew</thetext>

    <thetext>Try

&lt;xsl:variable name=&quot;f&quot; select=&quot;function-lookup#2&quot;/&gt;


then

fold-left($f($my-qname, 2))</thetext>
