I recently discovered that I can get the module path to a user function by using Java's `func_code` (e.g. `shared.user_function_name.func_code.co_filename` \>\> `<module:shared.user_function_name>`), however when I tried this on IA's `system` library functions, `func_code` doesn't exist as an attribute. I'm just curious the reason?

They aren't written in jython.

(Also, you might find my toolkit's `system.reflect.getModulePath()` helpful.)
