One question. Can you give me an example of Turing completeness with
just declarations? 

If not, the description you refer to may be valid only when discussing

[Scripts, in the Unix world - and GNU is a Unix replacement - are
 something almost Turing complete or Turing complete, depending on the
 language used for the a given script]
