can you explain in more detail, what the problem is?
Note, that one can calls tcl procs from within xotcl methods, one can
have evals, uplevels, etc.

use ::xotcl::self

"self" can be used to check whether the xotcl callstack is non-empty.

without promising to much, a sucommand"ismethod" for "self" retuning 0
or 1 depending whether the
current stackframe is an xotcl method should be doable with little effort.
