Not added on purpose: function_traits works for *function types*, and not 
*pointer to function types*.

So:

functions_traits<int(double)>  OK.
function_traits<int(*)(double)> bad: argument not a function type.

You can always use remove_pointer to strip a function-pointer down to a 
function type.

HTH, John.
