A stamp's function (sometimes also called type) is the
purpose for which it is intended. Functions range from "postage"
for normal postage stamps, to "airmail", to "special delivery", to
the many types of revenue stamps.
There are only a small number of functions in common use, plus several-score additional types that appear here and there.
