what i want is to be able to decide whether a given object is a module or
not.
having the type as given by _typeof() or by master()->describe_module()
does not solve the problem because each module has a different type,
and i'd have to try to look at the output for hints that help me decide
if that type is a module or not.
eg: by doing stunts like: search(sprintf("%O", _typeof(Stdio)), "node")

what version of pike is that?
i get:
> master()->fc_reverse_lookup(Stdio);
(2) Result: 0
fails both in the 7.7 pikefarm build as well as in a regular installed 7.6
greetings, martin.
