Checking if routine id is of a procedure or a of function?

There does not seem to be a way to check if a routine id (obtained via
routine_id()) represents a procedure or a function.

I'm thinking of using callbacks to notify a running program of certain
events. The program would pass in a routine id, and the routine would be
called when the event occures. Some events need a function (return value
required), some only need a procedure. I would like to be able to check that
the correct type of routine has been provided (as opposed to just requiring
that only functions be used and having to always return a value,) but it
seems I can not.

Something like this would be nice:

  if func_id(routine_id) then ...
  if proc_id(routine_id) then ...
