Hmmmm.  I read Ed's original questions as:

        Can 'undef' valued thingys have properties?
and:
        Can 'undef' valued thingys have functions?

That's why I said "no" to the second.

If the second question was actually:

        Can functions have properties?

Then the answer is, of course, "yes".
