I assume this means that:

(1) references to the declared function name following the declaration
inside the block are guaranteed to work.

(2) the behavior for references outside the block scope is undefined.

In other words, it not really the declaration inside the block whose
behavior is undefined, but the reference to that declared object from
outside the block.
