OK, I'll do that.  It should be easy to also do it for anonymous 
functions: just check for function handle with class(), determine 
whether it is an anonymous function and get the text of the function 
body with functions().  Then apply the same transformation as we use for 
inline functions to that string, then return a new function handle 
constructed from that string.
