I think my english is not god enough...,
you are assigning the function-name (that is: a function call) to
the "var capturedReturnValue"
So, if you write it as a global 'var', it will simply invoke that function during
load time. In casse you declare it inside a function it will call the execution 
of it, same way.

That, in contrast will assign the function-body to the var.

All right, -how do you write it so it will return, !not execute myFunction(),
but at least alert you from another function that: myFunction() did execute 
succesfully without executing it accidentally on-check time or before user-action?
