I would've expected it to complain about a bad substition reference,
ie. it's missing an "=".

Since "foo" and "bar" aren't functions supported by GNU Make these are
just simple variable references.  Eg:

	foo This isn't a valid make function=one
	bar Neither is this=two

	test:
		echo $(foo This isn't a valid make function)
		echo $(bar Neither is this)
