Reference Function Name Via Variable?

[Brian Yennie]

Scott,

I think the two major options - do / value or using an extra parameter  
are already out there, but one more pattern that might work for you is  
something like this:

setFunctionMode "function3b"
put someFunction(a, b, c) into someValue

You would call setFunctionMode once, and until you changed it again,  
your generic function would operate in that mode. This could work well  
if you want to be able to flip modes for a whole stack at a time. If  
you want to mix a lot of custom functions all at once, it's probably  
easier to just use an extra parameter.
