Script compilation/memory allocation determination

Is it possible for a script to determine whether it has been compiled for LSL or Mono? Would I be right in thinking that if llGetFreeMemory returns a value greater than 16K, you can be certain that it has not been compiled for LSL? Or, to put it another way, is there a way of determining how much memory the script has been allocated in the first place?

Don't use the free memory, there are some cases where a Mono script can end up with less free than the LSO equivalent (that's the real reason we got the larger space), and later on when we get to do allocations, it will be possible for them to be smaller in total than LSO scripts.

Void came up with a nice quick little test to tell what the runtime is, using a documented difference in the way LSO and Mono treat unicode:

CODE

integer isLSO(){
  return (llToLower( "Ü" ) == "Ü");
}
