Yes, it was intended for the same thing as Fortran's alternate function
entry point facility.  The usual example is sincos (one function with
separate entries for sin() and cos()).  C's "entry" was rarely, if ever,
implemented, primarily because with file-static functions it was really
unnecessary.
