Olaf,

Yes.  There was some discussion on the Maintainer's List a year or so ago
and 'which' was the conclusion that we arrived at.  Most of the time it
makes no difference whether something is a "Mapping Function" or a
"Loadable Function".  But very occasionally you might be interested, and
'which' will give that information.  One example that was relevant at the
time was code performance.  If the profiler reports that function XXX is
the slowest part of your code then the question of implementation, m-file
or C++, for XXX is worthwhile to know.
