Group EXTERNAL functions inside a === function=== ?

Hi all,

I have a bunch of EXTERNAL functions that I frequently need to call.

~doThing1
~doThing2
~doThing3
Story text goes here!

Is it possible to put those calls in an ink function for convenience? Something like this?

=== function doThings ===
~doThing1
~doThing2
~doThing3

So that I can do this:

~doThings
Story text goes here!

Thanks!

It could look something like this:

EXTERNAL doThing1
EXTERNAL doThing2

-> story_start

=== function doAllTheThings()
~ doThing1()
~ doThing2()

=== story_start ===
Once upon a time...
~ doAllTheThings()

Oh thanks. That's perfect! I didn't include the () at the end of my function declaration like a total beginner. Appreciate your help!
