Value is not a function error / Manipulating snippets in functions #14478

Describe the bug

I am pretty sure this is not necessarily a bug but an intended behaviour. However, the error given is so vague, and I could not find any documentation explaining why this functionality is not supported. Given is the following snippet:

<script lang="ts">
  import type { Snippet } from 'svelte';

  function formatter(v: number): ReturnType<Snippet<[number, string]>> {
    return draw(v, 'pink');
  }
</script>

{@render draw(0, 'orange')}

{@render formatter(0)} <!-- ERROR: Value is not a function error-->

{#snippet draw(value: number, color: string)}
  <p>
    value:
    <span style="background:{color}">
      {value}
    </span>
  </p>
{/snippet}

I try to create a new snippet that only takes part of an original snippet. Type wise this should be supported as draw has the following typing:

const draw: (value: number, color: string) => ReturnType<import("svelte").Snippet>

My expectation was that formatter would behave similarly to the following

{#snippet formatter(value: number)}
  {@render draw(value, 'pink')}
{/snippet}

The browser complains with a strange error which I have never encountered before. I suspect it has something to do with component mounting, unmounting or scoping? What part of Svelte magic am I missing in order to understand this error? Would this behaviour be possible with createRawSnippet?
