>    Function signatures as of now are only validated in runtime. We can improve it to add static validation as well. For instance, in the expression:
> {code}"$"+ (if Payment < 1000 then string(Payment) else (substring(string(Payment),1,1) + "," + substring(string(decimal(Payment,2),2)))){code}
>    In runtime I get:
> {quote}Unable to find function 'string( class java.math.BigDecimal, class java.math.BigDecimal )'{quote}
>     Because of:
> {code}...string(decimal(Payment,2),2)...{code}
>     Instead of (see the misplaced parenthesis):
> {code}...string(decimal(Payment,2)),2...{code}
>     I think we can also improve the error message to say:
> {quote}Unable to find function 'string( number, number )'{quote}
