(https://mbork.pl/2021-03-27_The_interactive_clause_and_modes). But what I'm asking is something very different. I explicitly don't want commands related to a certain mode (major or minor), but commands defined in a specific file. I know that every function somehow "knows" where its source is (because it's shown by `describe-function'), but I want to be able to get that info (for ex., in a function I'd put in `read-extended-command-predicate', which I knew about, since it's mentioned in that blog post, but I forgot, so thanks for that!).
