[ (***sin)(x) <=> (**sin)(x) <=> (*sin)(x) <=> (&sin)(x) <=> sin(x) ]

Bleah!  How do I tell the difference between a pointer to a function,
a pointer to a pointer to a function, etc.?

Is this some strange "feature" of the C compiler, is the type of pointer
to function actually "pointer to (pointer to (pointer to (...", or is
there a _reason_ for this?

    ;-D on  (The answer is simple if the question is complex)  Pardo
