is_function vs tuples (functions in non-local modules)

[David N. Welton]

Here's another one that's got me scratching my head:

1> c(parser).
{ok,parser}
2> parser:tr("x").
"<tr>x</tr>"
3> Fun = {parser, tr}.
{parser,tr}
4> Fun("x").
"<tr>x</tr>"
5> {parser, tr}("x").
"<tr>x</tr>"
6> is_function(Fun).
false
7> is_function({parser, tr}).
false

Is there any way to tell?

Reason being, I want to pass a list of things to a function.  This 
function should only call the ones that are actually functions.  I guess 
I could use catch, but that's got it's own problems (if it is a function 
and it errors out, I want the error to be passed on up) and doesn't seem 
elegant.

Thankyou once again for your time,
