OK, I will admit that my knowledge here is pretty limited so if someone could
point out what I'm missing, I'd appreciate it.

On reading the other thread [PR45290] it appears it deals with pointers being
initialized with other pointers, be they procedure or data.  

This compile error has to do with not being able to deal with a specific return
type for a function (i.e. those functions that return pointers).  The return
type of a function should have no bearing on whether or not the initialization
should succeed.
