commit https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/f0e86a0dbddc18568910e9e4aaae0cd88ca8087a Author: Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> Date: Sat Mar 19 19:38:12 2016 +0100 patch 7.4.1607 Problem: Comparing a function that exists on two dicts is not backwards compatible. (Thinca) Solution: Only compare the function, not what the partial adds.

" Vim script used in test_eval.in.  Needed for script-local function.

func! s:Testje()
  return "foo"
endfunc
let Bar = function('s:Testje')
$put ='s:Testje exists: ' . exists('s:Testje')
$put ='func s:Testje exists: ' . exists('*s:Testje')
$put ='Bar exists: ' . exists('Bar')
$put ='func Bar exists: ' . exists('*Bar')
