r - How to compare functions?

Question

Is there a way to compare whether two function objects are the same?

m <- mean
m == mean ## don't work

## this seems not to be the correct way:
functionBody(mean)==functionBody(m)

EDIT: Some more details. I have a function with two arguments (a matrix and a user-defined function which is applied columnwise, e.g. mean, median, ...). If the function is mean I want to use colMean instead (to save some running time).

foo <- function(m, fun) {
  #if (fun==mean) {
  #  return(colMeans(m));
  #} else {
    return(apply(m, 2, fun));
  #}
}

Answer 1

You can use identical:

identical(m,mean)
