Re: indirect function support

We need to make it easy to use.

The alias attribute already requires this (for non-member functions, for member functions, alias was simply broken). While it would be nice to improve alias, I don't see why that should be a requirement of adding ifunc support to alias.

Do you have a use case of using ifunc for member functions? Perhaps that would help.
