I agree.

No reason.

It is in there.

Background.  I implemented implicit this in all these various
contexts.  I liked it.  Someone else removed it or it bit rotted.
This in part because I didn't document it, I hate writting docs.
Anyway, since there is no reason not to do this (that I know of), and
since ptrfun() works, I think it is a fine extension, and I'll go
donate my kidney this weekend.
