That would be something like mem_fn - not actually a pointer but an
object that stores the pointer. The actual pointer can be extracted
from that object when it is known, or the function can be called via
this object.

As far as i know, comparing mem_fn or similar functions cannot compare
the pointers because they are of different types.
