So the "fundamental" type (if there was such a thing) would be a pointer
to a function, I guess i.e. don't treat it as anything else.

complain.
This view does not work well with more complicated declarations like
"void (*p)(int)". What is the "fundamental type" here? One could
argue
that the real culprit is the list construction, which does not mix well
with C declarations.
