How to use core.atomic.cas with (function) pointers?

The following code compiles:
```
alias T = shared(int)*;
shared T a;
shared T b;
shared T c;
void foo() {
import core.atomic: cas;
cas(&a, b, c);
}
```
The type of T has to be a pointer to a shared int (you get a
template match error for `cas` if `T = int*`), which is annoying
but I kind-of understand.
However, change b to null (`cas(&a, null, c);`) and things no
longer work: "Error: template `core.atomic.cas` cannot deduce
function from argument types"
I have not succeeded to make things work with function pointers
(neither with nor without `null` as second argument). What am I
doing wrong if `alias T = void function();` ?
Thanks,
Johan
