Sure, and I think I used the word "trivially" when I 
started talking about this subtopic (rather than "meaty").

My point was that allowing something to be classified as
a function by introducing sufficient arguments to turn it
into a function is a trivial (non-meaty, even -- nice turn
of phrase) approach.

It does.

Then again, it's not what people would normally think is meant,
in discussions about what is a function, and what is not, unless
this aspect of introducing extra parameters was fully specified.
