If you believe you have a solution that actually works, then you have the choice between:

I don't think is a big enough issue for me to warrant that much effort :-) Certainly there is a lot of function pointer usage in many applications, and I think it would be beneficial to be able to define both the pointers and the functions themselves using the same typedef, but I don't think it's worth introducing potential code parsing problems.
