What if I want to define a function as a sum of other functions?

#declare X = array[N]
//set X's

#declare f = function{ sum(i, 0, N-1, pow(.5, pow( vlength(<x,y,z> - X[i]),
2))) }

I can't think of how to make that work.

Also, why these restrictions? Why can't I sum outside a function or use
arrays inside? Why can't I do:
#define f1 = function { f1(x,y,z) + g(x,y,z) }
?
