$isalias()

Hi all,

Mirc has a $isalias() function, to see if a function exists. If i am building a 
mirc command, and verifying the syntax of the command, i can use the 
$isalias() to make sure the command exists, like the following (not 100% 
mirc compatable, and i am making presumptions not in the actual code):

text = give me a coke
replace(text,give,describe #,1)
replace(text,me,nick,$null)
replace(text,coke,$getcoke,$null)
if ( $isalias($gettok(text,1,32)) == $true ) { // $+ text } -- this will execute
text
*and* all the function calls inside text
else { --do some more processing }

Ok, how would i do this $isalias() in Eu? If i routine_id everything, i have a
list
of the routine tags to call once the right one is picked out, but the way i see 
it, the only way i can build a routine name list is to have a previous include 
file read this include file and append a line containing the function names in a
predeclared sequence. Or use one of the interpreters written in Eu, like Udse 
or Py/Ox or Topaz. Correct?
