Actually, it is often possible to determine that two functions are the 
same function, you simply need a to compare whether the function object 
lives in the same memory address. It is also possible to determine if 
two functions are different, if the function object are in different 
memory address than the function is different function.

What is difficult to do due to the Halting problem is comparing whether 
two different functions are "equivalent" (and therefore interchangeable).

I think the OP wants to find the former, not the latter. The former is 
trivial, the latter impossible.
