Hi Thorsten, I've used fun? to determine if an argument had the proper form of something that was executable or if it was data. It may not work in all cases, but it was sufficient for my use case. As Alex mentioned, it won't let you know whether it's actually executable or not. I think of it as having the potential to be executable.
