And what if sizeof (void (*)()) != sizeof (void *)? Think MS-DOS and all
those sick small/medium/large/huge memory models if you have to. I
realize it's a sick thought, but that's what the compiler complains
about and that's why "such a cast is not permitted by the standard."

Why not simply relax the compiler with /STANDARD=RELAXED or whatever:-)
