Solidity: What is this syntax with an external un-implemented function?

Question

Newbie question! I am trying to understand some Solidity code, and I see what is apparently the calling of an unimplemented function. My question is about the syntax: unimplFunc{value: x}(data). What are the angle brackets for?

interface ICaller {
    struct CallDescription {
        uint256 value;
        bytes data;
    }

    function makeCall(CallDescription memory desc) external;
    function makeCalls(CallDescription[] memory desc) external payable;
}

Elsewhere, this unimplemented function is called like so:

function swap(
        ICaller caller,
        ICaller.CallDescription[] calldata calls
    )
        external
        payable
        whenNotPaused
        returns (uint256 returnAmount)
    {
       //
       // This is the syntax I am puzzled over
       //
       caller.makeCalls{value: 1}(calls);
        
        . . . etc . . . 
    

Maybe that syntax is for over-riding a field in the struct argument? What's especially puzzling is that this function makeCalls is never implemented.

If it helps, the input value I observed for calls is:

calls.value = 0
calls.data = 0xb3af37c000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000808000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000024000000000000000000000000eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee0000000000000000000000000000001400000000000000000000000000000014000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000008000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000002445636885000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000e00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001000000000000000000000000eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee0000000000000000000000006b175474e89094c44da98b954eedeac495271d0f00000000000000000000000083314c5f8bab1f01a5f64e01cda3c4a0ea75b6ba00000000000000000000000083314c5f8bab1f01a5f64e01cda3c4a0ea75b6ba0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000002789438280458ffd000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000200000000000000000000000002a1530c4c41db0b0b2bb646cb5eb1a67b715866700000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000011c37937e0800000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000800000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000064ad65d76d0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000005fd0169e00000000000000000000000083314c5f8bab1f01a5f64e01cda3c4a0ea75b6ba0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Answer 1

It is a new syntaxis introduced with solc 0.7.

When making a call to a funciton you specify the ether amount to send and gas available to calle.

myContract.myFunction{gas: 3000000, value: 0.01 ether}(param1,...);

For solc version 0.6 the same line has to be written as

myContract.myFunction.gas(3000000).value(0.01 ether)(param1,...);
