   Finally, why are you allergic to typedefs? I prefer to use typedefs,
   particularly for function pointers since the syntax is too hard
   to read.

Just at note, there are some cases involving templates especially
template arguments that are next to impossible to write with a cast.

consider:

template <class A,class B,void (*c)(A&, B&)>
class Z { ... };

It's the best I can think of off the top of my head.

Now does the standard allow, any way to use a typedef here?
