Was looking for a function to copy (kill-ring-save) the
function the point is in.

Wrote the following. Maybe it's already written somewhere?

(defun defun-beginning-position-interactive ()
  "Print the position where the current defun starts"
  (interactive)
  (let ((pos
         (save-excursion
           (progn
             (beginning-of-defun) (point)))))
    (message "%s" pos)))

(defun defun-beginning-position ()
  "Return the position where the current defun starts"
  (save-excursion
    (progn
      (beginning-of-defun) (point))))

(defun defun-end-position-interactive ()
  "Print the position where the current defun ends"
  (interactive)
  (let ((pos
         (save-excursion
           (progn
             (end-of-defun) (point)))))
    (message "%s" pos)))

(defun defun-end-position ()
  "Return the position where the current defun ends"
  (save-excursion
    (progn
      (end-of-defun) (point))))

(defun copy-defun ()
  (interactive)
  (save-excursion
    (kill-ring-save  
           (defun-beginning-position) (defun-end-position))))

;;;;; end
