MY ERROR! I mixed up my various tests :-\  Those two #declared functions DO
parse OK in Windows, in both v3.7.0 and v3.8.0 beta 1. Very sorry for the
confusion.

What I actually *tested* was this comparison, by mistake (but still interesting,
and maybe odd- but certainly off-topic here):

#declare PATT =
pattern{bozo}
... which fails parsing

or..

#declare PATT =
pigment{bozo}
...which parses successfully
