This is especially interesting in that exactly the opposite happens when
defining multiple functions WITHOUT the "function" keyword:

torch% alias first='fn1 fn2' second='fn3 fn4'
torch% first second () { print $0 }
torch% functions
fn1 () {
        print $0
}
fn2 () {
        print $0
}
second () {
        print $0
}


} I suspect we can just move the "incmdpos = 1" until after we've found
} something that is either not a STRING or a possibly tokenized "{".  Not
} included in the patch below, but I'll do it unless anyone contradicts.

I would say that prefixing with "function" is a good workaround for the
function/alias conflict (maybe even update FAQ 2.3 to describe this),
so it is good if none of the words are treated as command aliases.
