I discovered quite recently that C supports such oddities as

     typedef int qwert(char*);

(if I've got the syntax right), thereby defining qwert to be an alias 
for a function of type int(char*).  I've seen it in the LAM MPI headers. 
  But as you say, it seems useless - AFAIK the only thing you can do 
with it is declare something of type pointer to qwert.
