We may not need to add "_to"/"_from" suffix by checking both
of argument type and return type. Because we use different
return type for copy_in/out_handler.

But the current LookupFuncName() family doesn't check return
type. If we use this approach, we need to improve the
current LookupFuncName() family too.
