fp is not declared as a function, it is declared as a pointer to a function. If
fp is declared as:
    alias void fp();
it will 'pass'.

>template isPointer( T )
>{

>static if( isPointer!(int*) ) printf( "8. pointer passes\n" );

Here, int* is passed as T to isPointer. The is(T:T*) is evaluated as
is(int*:int**), and so it fails. To detect a pointer, use is(T:void*).

No. Class functions are functions. A delegate is a pointer to a class function.
