New description:

 I was wondering why does OmegaScript have a way to define a sub-routine
 which can be called multiple times to avoid repetition while writing
 omegascript template.

 For example, if have a subroutine which needs to be executed multiple
 times. it would be interesting to define a subroutine which can be used
 multiple times and probably make writing omega-script easy.

 {{{
 $function{$list{$map{$opt{ARGUMENT1}, $lower{$_}, , .}, ARGUMENT1}
 }}}

 So this will define a subroutine. We can call this and this will get a
 value and the apply map and list. This might be required multiple times.
 Hence defining sub-routine might be more convenient than copy-pasting same
 code multiple times.


 Is there a reason why it cannot be supported in OmegaScript?
