OK, I have read section 3.1.2.5 three more times.  Where does it
disallow arrays of functions?  Page number and line number please.

Incidentally, I have not yet read enough to see if arrays of functions
(function definitions) are prohibited, but for the time being will
trust it.  That's why my example declares an external reference to
an array of functions (which could be defined in PL/I or assembly for
example).  But in sections 3.1.2.5 and 3.5.4.2, I cannot find any sort
of prohibition against either of these.
