Item331: Func broken when called via TWikiCompatibilityPlugin

For instance registerRESTHandler() has got a my $plugin = caller; in it ... which returns Func as the caller is the Func bridge of the TWikiCompatibilityPlugin for old TWiki plugins. The other Func methods might be broken as well when they are called via TWikiCompatibilityPlugin and have a caller in it.

Something like $plugin = caller(1) if $plugin eq 'TWiki::Func'; would fix it, but I can imagine that this all gets terribly inefficient. Most probably the Func bridge needs to be redesigned.

Well, "redesigned" might be a bit of overkill. It's simple enough to equivalence the few methods that use caller.

Re-opening the bug to make the alias alias only the function, as per: http://perldoc.perl.org/perlmod.html

Note for self: why not re-write all other functions too, aliases are quicker than function calls, and we're not using them anyway.
