Subject: Add completesNormally to function.js
X-Git-Url: https://git.ladys.computer/Pisces/commitdiff_plain/b78e2445d9f73ee3f784dfc59b5e04458fbe7f77?ds=inline;hp=17702fafba0cc7fb96934968488a668c5bb64b0c

Add completesNormally to function.js

This is a convenience function which returns true if calling the
argument results in a normal completion (i·e not a throw), and false
otherwise.
