| For old-style function definitions arguments of type float are silently

	Correct.

| So &f1 is actually a pointer to a
| double, which is inconsistent with check's expectation of a pointer to a
| float.

	This isn't right -- type-rewriting does not take place for
	pointers; &f1 is still a pointer to a float.
