There are a number of ways to get a function by name, but it depends on where the function is located. The following is an incomplete list of techniques.

Based on a posting to the Pike mailing list by Grubba

Visible in any object:

obj[fun]

Visible in the current object:

this_object()[fun]

       this[fun]

       ::`[](fun, 2)

Visible in some lexically scoped object:

scope::this[fun]

In the current object including private and protected:

::`[](fun, 3)

Visible in the current program:

this_program::this[fun]

       ::`[](fun)

In the current program (including private and protected):

::`[](fun, 1)

efun:

all_constants[fun]

Module function:

master()->resolv(fun)
