So if I understand, the following invokes the ordinary method foo that
returns a function, and then invokes that function and assigns the
result to the variable

result = *foo("bar")("baz");

While the following invokes a function variable foo, and then invokes
the function that is its result, and assigns that result to the
variable

result = **foo("bar")("baz");

Do I have that right?  If so, this doesn't appear to compose well.
