OK. *now* I understand what you want. It does seem to be a bug.

The following works with cfront 1.2.3 (except for warnings about unused
variables x and y):

int
foo(int x, int (*y)(char, char))
{
	return 0;
}

HOWEVER, the following does not work: I get syntax errors:

int
foo(int (*y)(char, char))
{
	return 0;
}


very strange...
