OK, but that begs the question. The problem is that your "might" test is 
neither sound (as Allen pointed out) nor complete (as I pointed out) for "can." 
What guarantee are you trying to provide? What do you mean by "might?"

I *think* the predicate people are asking for is, "does this function behave 
like a method, and if I use .call/.apply with a custom receiver object, will it 
use that receiver object?" That's just not something a computable function can 
accurately predict.

But I haven't read the JSFixed thread Rick mentioned, so I may have 
misinterpreted. Rick, can you post a link?
