No, we have separate Ptrs and FunctionPtrs IIRC...

One of the things that really bothers me about C is the way its 
unspecifiedness about types can "infect" other languages. For instance, 
what exactly is a Haskell Int?

Java, at least, stands firm, but then platform-independence was one of 
Java's explicit design priorities.
