I think that the common cases could (and probably should) be hardwired
for efficiency's sake. [E.g., (eq predicate 'file-executable-p) ]

[I suspect that even in _that_ case, it's pretty likely that
a function called `executable' in fact just does `file-executable-p',
so it would _still_ work... spooooky ... :-) ]
