func element in Math

Currently the 'func' entry in Math' Elements pane (screenshot in the
attachment) inserts this formula:

> func func(<?>)

I suppose that for a beginner user, it is not obvious here that the second
"func" in the inserted template is meant to be changed (it is not the usual
placeholder "<?>").

I suggest either change the insertion into

> func <?>(<?>)

which would make the "<?>" the formula name, but that is no worse than now, and
still suggests user to modify it, or alternatively, to something like

> func yourfuncname(<?>)

which would still suggest that the function name is not set in stone (but then
the question arises in translatability of this name, because it would only be
surely telling to English-speaking audience).

See
https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/295827/can-i-add-functions-to-math/,
where user had hard time finding this in the UI, possibly because of this.
