Description

Canonical type strings in the standard sometimes say "function", where the correct name per 8.3.5 is "function of (parameter-type-list) cv-qualifier-seq ref-qualifier-seq returning T". We should fix these by introducing a function-suffix term like cv, and run the edits through core before committing.

Research direction

Search the draft source for canonical type strings that use "function", then compare each occurrence with the naming rule in section 8.3.5. Read the proposed function-suffix term and run the edits through core before committing. Done means the applicable pointer-to-function strings use the full function-suffix wording.
