*WHY* would your think that?  The documentation of the -z option, which
you even _quoted- in your original post said that '-z' "causes ALL functions
to be listed, even those that are not called"

And, now you know that 'called plus un-called' is easy to get.

Guess what you get if you apply 'diff' to those two lists.    <grin>
