wow! Very interesting feature. Looks like an alternative to the node functions and Property Access, but is it really safe? Thank you for discovering this!

Where would this call function be put to use, Matt? I need a for dummies (aka me) example. :)

Say for example you had some float values that were driving a blendspace; rather than having the float values calculated in the event graph - you could use the Call Function node, or the Functions on the Blendspace node to calculate the floats as and when they were needed rather than all the time. This will keep functions contextual and only running when needed.
