A "generic" special function is a Area Special Function that can be used in a new area without modification. That is, it should be usable without having to customize the function for particular functionality.
That said, such generic special functions should be tested to ensure that they operate as expected.
If a special function is not generic, some aspect of the code will need to be modified for it to function correctly.
All use of special functions should be approved by the Area Coordinator. If code modifications are necessary, the Area Coordinator will also discuss the use of the special function with a coder.
