external functions used to be extern functions at one point :) Looks like we've missed updating the error here.

What would be the correct word to use here? external function or foreign function

external function, as per the spec terms and syntax.

The above requested fix is no longer required since the old-style external function wrapper related implementations have been removed from the ExternalMethodGen.java class. Hence closing this issue.
