Pointers to member functions seem to be well documented.
E.g.

  class SampleClass;

  int (SampleClass::*pmf)() = SampleClass::greaterThan;

Why then can I not pass a pointer to a member function as a parameter?
E.g.

  void sort(int (SampleClass::*pmf)());

This crashes with a syntax error (in gnu and cfront).

Anyone ever try this sort of thing??
