It works by appending the list from the function definition to the list
from the command line, so the effect is "3>&2 >&3" as you expect.
Should probably add a test for it --- it's slightly different code from
the normal case.

$functions[foo] output will need a special case.  I'll look at it.  I
don't think there's anything much to be gained by extending the special
case elsewhere since it's already broadly working like other shells, and
$functions is an odd one out there.
