It depends, and is easier to answer once the intent
is known. The idea is that using normal means, a pointer
cannot just point at any callable thing, and the indirect
call cannot be expected to work, without taking
the required parameters into account, somehow.

If this particular implementation of the MVC pattern
does not allow calling object oriented operations via objects
or pointers to these, maybe an example of how to do a similar
thing and guidance is found the source of (version 1 or version 3)
of the AUnit testing framework.
