For 95% of the cases (e.g., Intgrators, numerical analysis, graphics etc.)
Generics provide a reasonable replacement for function pointers.
The other 5% of the time (e.g., EMACS) the emuneration mapping seems
to provide a moderatly reasonable replacement.  I have still not seen an
example that is not covered by one of these two alternitives.
