This is true for bicep, but not true for DSC as we don't have a "compile" step and this function will be used at runtime. However, this does bring up an interesting problem. If this function only exists in bicep and not ARM, then a DSC config using this function would be executed at bicep compile time and thus DSC will never see the function call.
I wonder if it makes sense then to call this something else to avoid the confusion as the DSC function would execute at runtime. This is a good topic to discuss at next WG meeting.

Let's keep the PR open and put the other functions on hold as mentioned in the issue.
