Intuitively, either the function previously pointed to, or g, could be called,
though the argument would have to be a pointer to g.  (But this is not what
the standard says.)

Pedantically, the net.random_marauders could be called, because the expression
fetches the old value of fp for a purpose other than determining the new value
to be stored.
