replaceable - determine whether any functions are defined in at this level
int replaceable(object ob);
int replaceable(object ob, string array fnames);
In the second form, return 0 if the program for object ob defines any
functions explicitly, as opposed to simply inheriting. Function names
in the array fnames are ignored. If no such functions are defined, 1
is returned. If the second argument is omitted, it defaults to
({ "create" }). The purpose of this efun is to assist in making
automatic decisions on whether to call replace_program(). Note that
the default version ignores create(), so it is only safe to replace a
object for which replaceable() returns true if you never intend to
clone from that object.
