        LONG    (*filter)();                 `pointer to func giving LONG'

            ||          
           \||/       Delete the identifier ...
            \/

        LONG    (*      )()

           \||/       ... and neaten it up
            \/   

        LONG (*)()

giving -

        GLOBAL LONG     FileRequester(..., LONG(*)(), ...);

(`LONG*()' would be the type of foo in:

        LONG *(foo())                     `func giving pointer to LONG')
