Yes, I have to adopt that approach, you use this:
(require 'naked nil t) ;; (no error if not found): naked-key-description
and then
(if (fbound 'naked-function)
(naked-function)
(otherwise-normal-function))

I see it finds string in Perl, like:
print 'string';
(thing-at-point 'string-contents)
it finds:
#("string" 0 6 (face font-lock-string-face fontified t))
but not that it finds it in Elisp mode, because it is not string, and
also not in mail mode

Yes, I was thinking you made it so, low level.

I use following `cond' statement to find your library `find-where.el'
as people often quote in this way `'. What is the name of that type of
quoting?
The action button moves me to find-where.el
((thing-at-point 'thing-within-grave-and-apostrophe)
(let ((thing (thing-at-point 'thing-within-grave-and-apostrophe)))
(cond ((file-exists-p thing) (find-file thing))
((and (string-match "\\.el$" thing)
(locate-library (substring thing 0 (- (length thing)
3))))
(find-library thing)))))
Thanks, I find the function `fw-to-next-thing' very useful in this
unification of functions. It is reinventing the wheel what GNU
Hyperbole already has, with extensions.
I can imagine that `fw-to-next-thing' must be slower function right?
It is much slower then just using regular expression search.

Thanks.

That is useful. Let us say I wish to collect all the anchors in the
file, I can do it easier.
