See also web.archive.org/web/20000816225337if_/http://… where David Korn mentioned that support for functions in the Bourne shell was added in 1982 (1984 was when SVR2 was released) and the ksh function f { ....} predated that (ksh first announced in 1983 AFAIK).

@Isaac, it's f() any-command (except that if any-command is a simple command, it can't have redirections). The POSIX syntax is f() any-compound-command. {...} is both a command and compound command. The Bourne shell initially didn't have functions. Function support was added in SVR2 in 1984 with a different syntax from that of ksh (1983) which is what I'm saying here.

Bourne (heirloom version) supports functions as f() { list; }.
