In article <8807211846.AA27919@jade.berkeley.edu> you write:
}C).  A few (MANY?) C compilers can support pointers to functions which would
}seem to work if you had an array of pointers to functions, but just using a
}large switch statement would seem to be quite slow.

If it doesn't support pointers to functions, it isn't full C, but only a
subset.  Pointers to functions is one of the most useful features of C.
