is stated
"it is illegal to take the address of a function in the standard library"

Is it correct? Where is it mentioned in the Standard?

17.4.4.4/2 says that a member function may be replaced with the version with 
other signature, but
a) "a member function" != "a function"
b) May be replaced with the version with other signature doesn't mean one 
cannot take its address, it only means taking its address doesn't make sense 
for portable code.
