You can emulate this function with the inverse cosine of the dot product of the vectors over the product of their magnitudes.

Example usage:
vangle( vector3 ( point("/obj/model/sphere1",0,P,0), point("/obj/model/sphere1",0,P,1), point("/obj/model/sphere1",0,P,2) ), vector3 ( point("/obj/model/sphere2",0,P,0), point("/obj/model/sphere2",0,P,1), point("/obj/model/sphere2",0,P,2) ) )
Notice that it returns degrees, not radians:
/ -> echo `vangle( vector3(0,0,0), vector3 ( 0,1,0 ))` 90
