Terrific, MSVC 7.0b1 matches R (*) (T1) to int (*) (void), deducing T1 as
void. Let's hope that "this behavior is not by design" and the final release
will work.

This breaks is_pointer_helper3 in composite_traits.hpp as well. With

#if _MSC_VER != 1300
#endif

around the R (*) (void) cases the small test program now compiles.
