Correction: it compiles, but doesn't link, because it's looking for the 
default implementation that doesn't exist. But if I make the last call:

        foo( static_cast< int(X::*)() >( &X::f0 ) );

Which, to my mind, is redunant, the file links and runs fine.

Anyway, same question applies, I just wanted to correct myself.
