Seems that Intel has problems in parsing function pointer types inside
template parameter types. I've attached a changed version that might
fix the problem, please, try it if you have some time.

I think, I'll update the documentation as you requested in your post
in a couple of days and put the new version to the Vault. It will have
all fixes I have made so far. BTW, it will have a fix that denies
cross-casting between states, as you noticed earlier. Though, a
conforming compiler is needed for the protection to work.
