  // *     example 1: runkit_function_copy('plus', 'add');
  // *     returns 1: true
  if (typeof this.window[funcname] !== 'function' || this.window[targetname] !== undefined) { //  (presumably disallow overwriting existing variables)
    return false;
  }
  this.window[targetname] = this.window[funcname];
