This is not possible. We only have eval (run) as of today. I view adding functions as one of the most important usability improvements we can make.
Again: this is not an issue with hush as is, but only with our resource-limited port of a nearly 20 year old version of it.
Updating to a current version would fix this, in an almost 100% backward compatible way.
Let us cut to the chase then. Who is going to port a modern version of hush over to U-Boot, and maintain it? If we fork and forget again, we'll be in a bad place once again in 2-3 years.
