[Xerte] Re-using an icon to loadVars

I think the 2nd debug call should also return [type Function]

Sorry, I didn't include the actual call:
debug(some_Iconid.loadVars);

So I'm just asking "what are you?"
Before I call it it says it's a function.
After I've used it once, it says it's something else.
