`cuse me, but if Eu is doing a pass on the script before executing, why is
there a need for routine_id() at all? Simply do not abort the pass that finds
unknown routine calls untill the end of the pass, where you can see if any
calls are still unknown. This would solve the problem Derek demonstrates,
no?
