Can we use RTTI to find functions/procedures by name and run them?

Question

As we can find a Property or an Object using RTTI, can we search for a certain function or procedure (not from an object as a method but from an unit) loaded in memory knowing just it's name?

And if we can, is it possible to execute it sending it's parameters?

Delphi's RTTI system is based around types. However, procedures and functions with unit scope are not associated with types and so cannot be reached using RTTI.

@SirRufo showed me: docwiki.embarcadero.com/CodeExamples/XE3/en/…. So, the only way is to create those function inside objects for me to 'invoke' them? – Sexagesimal
