In any scenario for user control of sending functions to the far end, it's
on the user's head to make sure that he's telling us the truth about which
functions are compatible between local and remote servers. That would
extend to checking cross-version compatibility if he's running different
versions, too. We already have risks of that kind with built-in
functions, really, and I've not heard complaints about it.
