True, but a DeclRefExpr doesn't mean it's a function call. Binding the function is not contrary to the CERT rule, just calling it. For instance, the following pathological case will be caught by this check:
```
if (std::rand) {}
```
The behavior of this check should be consistent with cert-env33-c, which only looks at calls. (If we really care about bound functions, we'd need flow control analysis, and I think that's overkill for both of those checks, but wouldn't be opposed to someone writing the flow analysis if they really wanted to.)
