I think one entry is fine. We should probably add a sentence
at the end of the description to make it clear that the
function and subroutine forms cannot be mixed. Perhaps,
"The function and subroutine forms of CHMOD cannot be
mixed within a program."
In the above, program may actually be only the "same
scoping unit".
