Sometimes I do miss the pragmatic C solution:- two function pointers that are equal surely represent the same functions (although in C nothing is really sure ;)

In haskell, they would, but C doesn't give you the same guarantee: int evil = 0; int wicked( int i_dare_you ) { return i_dare_you + (++evil); } Clearly, wicked and wicked are the same function, but they surely aren't indistinguishable, at least if you happen to call them. -- (c) this sig last receiving data processing entity.
