      The $it/ path prefix is required for bound functions applied to the current instance

      Description

      The protocol spec calls out that you can invoke a function in $filter using the namespace- or alias- qualified name, but does not clearly spell out the rules for invoking a bound function from the current resource.

      Specifically, to call bound function in filter do you need to prefix with $it?
      i.e., ~Products?$filter=$it/Model.GetPrice(3) gt 10
      or can I do
      i.e., ~Products?$filter=Model.GetPrice(3) gt 10 ?

      If the latter, then how do I differentiate between a bound function and an unbound function with the same non-binding parameters?
