SYNOPSIS
unknown call_direct_strict(object|string ob, string func, ...)
unknown call_direct_strict(object*|string* ob, string func, ...)
DESCRIPTION
Similar to call_other(). Call a member function <fun> in another
object <ob> if the function is defined and publicly accessible.
Any of the optional extra arguments are passed to the function.
Result is the value returned from the called function.
This efun is a twin to call_strict(), with the difference
being that call_direct_strict() never calls a default method.
Thus if ob::fun does not define a publicly accessible function,
the efun will raise a runtime error.
ob can also be an object_name. If a string is passed for ob
and an object with that name can't be found or loaded, an
error occurs.
Additionally the efun accepts an array of objects as <ob>: the
function is called with the same arguments in all the given objects.
The single results are collected in an array and yield the final
result. Array elements can be objects or the names of existing
objects. If a call to any of the objects failes, the efun will
raise a runtime error.
