Perhaps because you're a type theorist? <g>
C not only *does* have function types, it has
first class function values just like ML does.
The two differences are: functions can't be
lexically scoped (so all the closures are trivial)
and there's no garbage collector (so pointers to
automatic variables are unsafe).
