   OK, that's crazy! I didn't know of this!   
      
   It seems a bit weird at first, but I like the type consistency:   
   you declare `typedef int callback(int)` and declare `callback *c`   
   making it very explicit that we are talking of a pointer.   
      
   On the other hand it is not clear what `callback c` should do,   
   but it makes sense as soon as you declare it.   
      
   Thanks for sharing!
