Add -q/--query switch to the functions builtin. Works just like the same switch to set does. Useful for checking for the existance of functions in a script

-definitions will be printed.
+The default behavior of \c functions when called with no arguments,
+is to print the names and definitions of all defined functions. If any
+non-switch parameters are given, only the definition of the specified
+functions are printed. 
 
-If a function is automatically loaded, using <code>functions -e</code>
-to erase it will not remove the function.
+Automatically loaded functions can not be removed using functions
+-e. Either remove the definition file or change the
+$fish_function_path variable to remove autoloaded functions.
 
+The exit status of the functions builtin is the number functions
+specified in the argument list that do not exist.
