Re: Finding out the name of the dispatched function

[Paul Kienzle]

Help dispatch says:

        dispatch('f')

          List dispatch functions for 'f'

This doesn't quite do what you want.

Unfortunately dispatch('f','type') clears the dispatch rather than
displaying it.  This could be changed to display so that
dispatch('f','type') displays the dispatch, and use something else
such as dispatch('f','type',[]) to clear it.
