Mocking is done by re-binding names.

Every object accessible by name is in some namespace. I don't know what
you mean by “can be namespaced or not”.

If you want to trap every possible use of a function, you need to know
every possible name by which it will be accessed.

So, probably, you would be better served by mocking some small set of
known names by which the function will be accessed, and discouraging use
of the function by other names.
