/**
@file
@brief Checks if a function exists
@details Returns 1 if the function exists, else 0. Note that this function
can be slow as it needs to open the sashelp.vfuncs table.
Usage:
%put %mf_existfunction(CAT);
%put %mf_existfunction(DOG);
Full credit to [Bart](https://sasensei.com/user/305) for the vfunc pointer
and the tidy approach for pure macro data set filtering.
Check out his [SAS Packages](https://github.com/yabwon/SAS_PACKAGES)
framework! Where you can find the same [function](
https://github.com/yabwon/SAS_PACKAGES/blob/main/packages/baseplus.md#functionexists-macro
).
