Hey!  Cut me some slack!  I'm doing the best I can! :-)

Wadaya want for nuttin'? :-)

But seriously folks, someday unprotoize will take this:

	void *(*foobar (int, float))(float, struct s*);

	struct s {
		double (*func_ptr[10]) (char, enum e);
	} svar;

	void *vp;

	void f () {  svar.func_ptr[3] = (double (*)(char, enum e)) vp; }

and turn it into this:

	void *(*foobar ())();

	struct s {
		double (*func_ptr[10]) ();
	} svar;

	void *vp;

	void f () {  svar.func_ptr[3] = (double (*)()) vp; }

But don't hold your breath.
