unbounded captures are generally bad, I suggest a limit like {1,5}

This typedef does not allow * returns like
const unsigned char *(*string)(args...);
or
unsigned char *const(*fn)(args...);
or
void *(*alloc)(args...);
(not to mention the truly unusual stuff like the typedefs in
tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/btf_dump_test_case_syntax.c)
typedef void (* (*signal_t)(int, void (*)(int)))(int);
typedef char * (*fn_ptr_arr1_t[10])(int **);
typedef char * (* const (* const fn_ptr_arr2_t[5])())(char * (*)(int));
