Welcome to IWETHEY!

New No, it isn't duplicated.
The function "pointer" is actually an object that contains a lot more information than a simple string can convey.

New references versus the record itself
The function "pointer" is actually an object that contains a lot more information than a simple string can convey.

The string is like an ID that points to (references) a record, not the record itself. If it requires more, then make it an associative array, but I don't see a need for that so far either.

Someone below suggested that more is needed to implement closures. Personally I have not seen a slam-dunk justification for closures. They may simplify code a few percent at most. We had a huge debate here about this once and I see no need to repeat it again.
