-Esoteric Features
-*****************

-There are some types in Solidity's type system that have no counterpart in the syntax. One of these types are the types of functions. But still, using ``var`` it is possible to have local variables of these types::
-
-    contract FunctionSelector {
-      function select(bool useB, uint x) returns (uint z) {
-        var f = a;
-        if (useB) f = b;
-        return f(x);
-      }
-
-      function a(uint x) returns (uint z) {
-        return x * x;
-      }
-
-      function b(uint x) returns (uint z) {
-        return 2 * x;
-      }
-    }
-
-Calling ``select(false, x)`` will compute ``x * x`` and ``select(true, x)`` will compute ``2 * x``.
