st: passing a function name as an argument to another function in Mata

[Zurab Sajaia <zsajaia@hotmail.com>]

Dear all,
 
I'm trying to write a function that receives name of another function as an argument and executes it. So it's something like this:
 
 
functin myexecute(string scalar fname)
{
   ... somehow execute fname...
} 
 
 
 
:myexecute("myfunction()")
 
 
I can't use p=&functname() construct to than pass the pointer p to myexecute() and couldn't find any other option. Any suggestions whether this is possible at all?
 
Thanks,
Zurab
