Dynamic function calling.

[Moderocky]

Additions

New types

executable
function

Obtain function references by name (& source)

[the|a] function [named] %string% [local:(in|from) %script%]
[the] functions [named] %strings% [local:(in|from) %script%]
[all] [the] functions (in|from) %script%

Run function references & get results

# effect
(run|execute) %executable% [with [arg[ument]s]] %-objects%]
# expression for return value
[the] result of %executable% [with [arg[ument]s]] %-objects%]

Little examples

set {_function} to the function named "myFunc"
run {_function} with arguments "hello", "there"
set {_thing} to the result of {_function} with arguments "hello", "there"

Infrastructure

Road-map of future plans

I'm setting down a bit of API here for future Skript features/addons to use,
especially ones that want to run tasks.

I have a few ideas about what I would like to do with this, but nothing finalised yet.

[Pikachu920]

also see #6254 (comment). i have to be honest - i'm not really a fan of reflective capabilities in vanilla skript

I, too, am not a big fan.
Will update this message with links to my previously expressed opinions on this tomorrow.

[Asleeepp]

Sorry if im blanking right now, but why would you even need this in the first place? you could just... run the function? i dont see any point for this atleast in my eyes

[sovdeeth]

just some clerical stuff, nice work!
