I don't see why it would be particularly expensive -- just a dictionary lookup. We already have code like "if something in globals():" in some places in the scaffolding app. Anyway, in the non-dynamic case, I'm not sure what role source control would play. If you're making a fixed function call, you should simply know what functions are available in your codebase (of course, there are various IDE tools that can help identify all the available functions if you don't have proper documentation or want to browse the source code).
