-	An '''immediate call''', or '''call''', is the operation in [[E]] which corresponds to the “method call”, “function call”, or sometimes “message send” of other object-oriented systems.	+	Placeholder/stub for now see [http://www.erights.org/elib/concurrency/msg-passing.html#call]
-	In E, an immediate call can only be performed on a [[near reference]], and it always returns "immediately" — within the same [[turn]], without waiting or blocking — as opposed to the [[eventual send]].
-	The E-language syntax for a call is	+	----
-	<var>recipient</var>.<var>verb</var>(<var>arg</var>, <var>arg</var>, ...)	+	[[stub]]
-	where <var>recipient</var> and <var>arg</var> are [[expression]]s and <var>verb</var> is an [[identifier]] or [[string literal]].	+
-		+
-	Dynamic calls of arbitrary verb and argument count can be performed with [[Object E#call/3|E.call]].	+
