What dictionary are you going by?

This is only a matter of how C++ happens to notate pointer-to-member types and
the dereferencing thereof.  (At least a pointer to a member function - a
pointer to a member variable is a whole different beast.)  Below this level,
it's just a function type, the class it's "relative to" just being the type of
the implicit this parameter.
