Earlier I claimed:

	printf("%d %d\n", f(...v...), f(...v++...))

was unspecified not undefined based on a misapprehension of where the sequence
point in a function calls is.  Looking at K&RII it appears that the s.p. is 
between the evaluation of the arguments (and function name) and the application
of the functions.  I.e.

	x = double_it(x++);

would always leave x even.  In my previous example however, I believe that v
and v++ could be evaluated before either s.p. thus it is undefined.

So what about:

	 (*fp)(fp = &g)

???
