Description

[expr.call]/1 seems to be the only place defining what is a "function call":

A function call is a postfix expression followed by parentheses containing a possibly empty, comma-separated list of initializer-clauses which constitute the arguments to the function.

The Index already includes "recursive function call" and "undefined function call". Lacking for the "function call" itself reveals imcompleteness.

Research direction

Start with the [expr.call]/1 wording and inspect the existing Index entries for “recursive function call” and “undefined function call” to find how these entries are represented in the draft sources. Add the missing “function call” index entry using the repository’s existing convention, then verify that the generated index includes it.
