Suppose I have you the source code to some arbitrary function that takes 
a list and returns another list.

It is possible to determine whether the function always examins the 
entire input list? Or would that be equivilent to solving the Halting 
Problem? (Last time I checked, the Halting Problem is unsolvable.)
