Continuity of the functional calculus in its function at elements of finite spectrum #

Mathlib's tendsto_cfc_fun passes uniform convergence on the spectrum, among functions continuous on the spectrum, to the continuous functional calculus. When the spectrum of a is finite, every function is continuous on it and pointwise convergence on it is uniform, so pointwise convergence on the spectrum alone gives cfc (F x) a → cfc f a. This applies, for example, to every matrix.

If the spectrum of a is finite and F x → f pointwise on it along a filter l, then cfc (F x) a → cfc f a. No continuity of F x or f is needed.
