`functionp' would probably better, since it's not forbidden to be used
in dynamically bound Lisp.  Most place expressions will not contain
something functionp I think.  Using a unique tag would probably be
cleaner.

I'm not sure if having `gv-ref-p' would be useful, I can imagine that it
could, but have myself used this only once or twice.
