How does one call a member function using a pointer to that function.
I understand that some may feel it is a breech of good practice
since the language already has many features to eliminate the
need for pointers to functions; still the problem remains.

When I called a member functions using a pointer to that function,
the code which normally pushes the $this pointer did not exist.
Hence, the receiving prologue popped the first parameter as the
$this pointer.  Ahem.  It did not work.  I want to use a member function
because I want the function to be an implicit intimate to the private
parts of the class.  Simulating the $this pointer would be acceptable.
