The BoostBook "functionname" element seems to have the same role as the
DocBook "function" element, and the BoostBook "function" element seems
to mean something else entirely. Is there a good reason for this change-up?

DocBook's <function> element refers to the name part of a function (within, e.g., a <funcdef>). We couldn't use the DocBook funcdef (none of the C-centric constructs seem to work well), so we invented our own.


Also, the documentation for the BoostBook "function" element shows an
example with no instance of <function> in it!  What's going on here?

Very poor documentation :) Functions look just like constructors, except that they have a return type and a name="..." attribute.
