Hmm.  I never thought about it before, but what does ANSI C do
type-conversion-wise with args to a function accessed via a function pointer
expression?  Unless I'm confused, unlike old C, ANSI C is supposed to make
things be the type you specify in the prototype...  but function pointers
wouldn't have prototypes (or would they?).

For example, suppose that p is a pointer to either a function f which
returns an int and takes a short arg or to function g which returns an int
and takes a long arg...  what is the type, short or long, when the value 5
is passed in code like (*p)(5)?
