Comment (by osa1):

 Ah, that makes sense. But at least in theory we could check if the FUN has
 CAF references before failing, right? StaticPtr to a FUN with no CAF
 references should be OK I think -- although I guess in practice that may
 not be too useful as most functions probably have some CAF references.
