In the C++ standard there is no requirement that pointer to frame is a
pointer to function. C++ Standard does not mention frames at all and
many OS return frames as just a void*, not void(*)().

I'll add a `template <class T> frame(T* addr)` and
`frame(void(*addr)())` constructors. This must satisfy all the needs
and allow to change underlying implementation for a platform where
sizeof(void*) != sizoef(void(*)())
