What happens ?
Consider the following code:
    struct foo {
        void (*pf)();
    };
Later I can write:
    void f(struct foo (*ptr)[2]);
    struct foo x;
    x.pf = f;
This compiles fine, but now I can assign any function to pf. Why I can't
specify required function prototype ? I can't understand this.
