Suppose following:

We want to write a software emulation for another processor on UNIX 

So the main problem is to get into the emulation routines as fast as possible,
and therefore it doe not seem to be good enough to do

	switch (code) {
		case ..
		case ..
		}

So we thought of doing that job by declaring the addresses of the emulation 
routines and jumping to the routines by address like this

	(*addressarray[code]);

I know, I know that *does not* work, but maybe there is someone knowing to
get around.
