That's as designed. Declaring a variable to be a function makes no sense. You
can declare it to be a pointer to a function, though. You can also declare it
to be an alias of a function.

I think the point of the bug is that because it's invalid to set a variable to
a function, this should be interpreted as a function call, and thus make x an
int with value 0.
