Is there a function to tell if a prim is packed?

Or, is there a function like hasprimattrib but for intrinsics?(that way, I could check if packedfulltransform exist...)

You can use primintrinsic() to check typename.

Something like this: 
i@packed = re_find("Packed", primintrinsic(0, "typename", i@primnum));

But you could check for PackedGeometry / PackedFragment specifically if you need.
