To be fair, the C example could be detangled a lot by introducing a typedef:

typedef int Callback_t(int, int);Callback_t *(*fp)(Callback_t *, int);

    True, but that requires writing an additional definition and hides the parameter types, which can be very interesting, and you'd need a typedef for every new param combination I guess. It feels like a solution for a problem that could have been avoided by a better signature syntax in the first place.
