 @anchor{Definition of indirect-function}
 This function returns the meaning of @var{function} as a function.  If
 @var{function} is a symbol, then it finds @var{function}'s function
 definition and starts over with that value.  If @var{function} is not a
 symbol, then it returns @var{function} itself.

-there is a loop in the chain of symbols.
+This function signals a @code{void-function} error if the final symbol
