f is not a function but a function pointer, so the issue is against current
design and description of the issue is also misleading by the way.

By the way, this is a good opportunity to raise the question about what 'is'
expression should return. There are currently two kinds 'function' and
'delegate' for three cases - a function, function pointer and delegate.
Currently 'function' maps to function, not to a pointer and 'delegate' maps to
delegate which is inconsistent (there is also inconsistency with not mapping
'function' to function pointer as this keyword is related to function pointers
in other use cases). 

If 'function' should map to both pointer and a function, then there should be
some means to distingiush between them. Another option is to map 'function' to
pointer and function should map to returned type .
