To find how a function is defined, you can use "type" or "which".  For
example,

  type __go_draw_axes__

will tell you where the function file is found, and show you the
contents.  If the function is built in, you will just get a note
saying it is built in.  It would be nice if that also included the
source file name, but I've never gotten around to doing that.  It
would make a nice small project for someone to implement that feature
though.
