<p>The return type and each parameter of a function type may have a set of
<i>parameter attributes</i> associated with them. Parameter attributes are
used to communicate additional information about the result or parameters of
- a function. Parameter attributes are considered to be part of the function
- type so two functions types that differ only by the parameter attributes
- are different function types.</p>
+ a function. Parameter attributes are considered to be part of the function,
+ not of the function type, so functions with different parameter attributes
+ can have the same function type.</p>
<p>Parameter attributes are simple keywords that follow the type specified. If
multiple parameter attributes are needed, they are space separated. For

- <p>Note that the two function types above are unique because the parameter has
