/**
  @file
  @brief Checks whether a feature exists
  @details Check to see if a feature is supported in your environment.
    Run without arguments to see a list of detectable features.
    Note - this list is based on known versions of SAS rather than
    actual feature detection, as that is tricky / impossible to do
    without generating errs in most cases.
 
        %put %mf_existfeature(PROCLUA);
 
  @param [in] feature The feature to detect.
 
  @return output returns 1 or 0 (or -1 if not found)
