Calling built-in functions indirectly. The dox say you can't do this
(see below), but I thought we discussed this some time back and found that
it was (in a very late breaking fix) actually implemented (fixed).
BEGIN { s = "sin";print @s(1) }
Still generates a fatal error.
(I found the text below via Google, but it looks like it is not in 4.1.1, which
is, I believe, still the latest released version)

Hello all.
I have just implemented improvements so that indirect calls work to both
built-in functions and to extension functions:
$ cat i.awk
BEGIN {
Quarter_pi = 3.1415927 / 4
print sin(Quarter_pi)
f = "sin"
print @f(Quarter_pi)
print substr("abcdefgh", 2, 3)
f = "substr"
print @f("abcdefgh", 2, 3)
}
$ ./gawk -f i.awk
0.707107
0.707107
bcd
bcd
And for extension functions:
$ cat j.awk
@load "filefuncs"
BEGIN {
ret1 = stat(".", data1)
print "ret1 =", ret1
f = "stat"
ret2 = @f(".", data2)
print "ret2 =", ret2
for (i in data1) {
if (! isarray(data1[i])) {
print i, data1[i]
if (! (i in data2) || data1[i] != data2[i]) {
printf("mismatch element \"%s\"\n", i)
}
}
}
}
$ export AWKLIBPATH=$PWD/extension/.libs
$ ./gawk -f j.awk
ret1 = 0
ret2 = 0

The documentation has been updated and the code will be in the git
repo shortly.

Bump!!!!

About that whole "sent His Son to die for us thing", I've never been able
to understand that one. It's not like Jesus isn't going back to Heaven
after his Earthly self dies, right? So, having him be executed, and
resurrect a few days later strikes me as being more akin to spending the
weekend at the non-custodial parent's house than "dying", doesn't it?

I don't see that.
But I do see that this is going to be publicly available in 4.1.2 (soon to
be released).
What I didn't understand was how Arnold had said that he had fixed it, but
I didn't seem to have any way to get the fixed version.
But now I do. I think...

Patches and new features are initially available in the git repository. So if you want the most up-to-date version, you can always get it from there.

The basic procedure is:
git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/gawk.git
git checkout <desired branch>
./bootstrap.sh && ./configure && make
This new feature should be in the 4.1.2 release coming soonish.
