We seem to have at least four different interpretations of
x1 and x4 of fancu:
xod: x1 is a name and x4 is the function
cowan: x1 is the function and x4 is an _expression_ (a text)
lojbab: x1 is the function and x4 is something like li f(x)=x*2,
which is not very clear what it is because equations
are not numbers.
pc: x1=x4 both are the function, with the proviso that good style
requires to use a more helpful description in x4.
I much prefer pc's version over any of the others, although even
better for me would be to drop x4 altoghether.
Why, thanks; I needed a pleasant surprise.
So, leave off fancu4 and put it in, when needed (as often) in subordinate clauses.
