There you go.  This explains only what the phrase means in a C++ context.

In a more general context, there's nothing to say a "pointer to member" must be
a distinct type.

Suppose this issue is fixed by implementing the points of comment 10.  Then
&Test.foo is a pointer to a member of Test.  It being just a void
function(Test), rather than some other, distinct but semantically equivalent
type doesn't change this fact.
