I suspect this is a lingering definition which was somewhere in the 
message path in the IDE.

When the engine looks for what handler to call it checks each stage in 
the message path in order for the pair (handler type, handler name). So, 
if you have (command, myFunc) at one level, and (function, myFunc) at 
another level:
   myFunc
and
   get myFunc()

Will call different handlers.
