Do you think because I am stupid enough not to know how to do this I
should not?

I don't care if it works on all platforms but if it does work
I could get a potential speed increase.

This could lead to code bloat I want something more elegant.

Yes I am sure two and that is why I did not ask them as they would tell me
the obvious which I already knew.  I am not stupid.

BTW: could this "Extracting the function pointer from a bound pointer to
