In NextDeveloper/Examples/AppKit/Graph/Expression.h, there is an example
that uses typedefs.  It may not cover all situations, but at least
the code can remain comprehensible if you can use it.


/* function supplied by term implementor for evaluation */
typedef float EXPTermEvalFunc(int numArgs, float *args);

 .....

- addFuncTerm:(const char *)name minArgs:(int)min maxArgs:(int)max
					evalFunc:(EXPTermEvalFunc *)func;
 /*
  * Adds a function to the set of functions this Expression can parse.
  * Functions look like "name(arg1, arg2,...)" in the text that is
  * parsed.  At evaluation time the C function func() will be called with
  * the values of the arguments. ....
