So if
globpath(&runtimepath, "autoload/foo.vim", 1) != ""
returns true, I can assume "foo" is installed and enabled?

I'm trying to write a plugin that happens to need "foo", not a
plugin manager. I don't want to install "foo" if it's missing, I just
want to know if I can call "foo#bar()". Checking for the function
itself is not reliable:
exists("*foo#bar")
returns false if the corresponding autoload file is not already loaded.
I also don't want to load the file just to make sure I can use the
function at some later point in time.
