+User-defined functions and methods
+--
+
+Meson does not currently support user-defined functions or methods. The addition of user-defined functions would make Meson Turing-complete. Avoiding this greatly simplifies the implementation. If because of this limitation you find yourself copying and pasting code a lot you may be able to use a [`foreach` loop instead](#foreach-statements).
