I agree with this, and I too am convinced that this used to work fine in the
past and just suddenly stopped working at some point.
Would it make sense to simply always use this check?
In my mind, this is what the function-exists test should do, but I thought
that I'd leave the existing test do what it thinks is right first since there
might be cases and systems around that works in ways I haven't considered. For
example, this extra test might fail if the function name is defined as a
macro.
