That would be good by you seem to be reluctant to do the walking away
part.

And yet you still haven't answered by question about which function is
declared twice.  The example included only two and you agreed that at
least one much be declared twice so there are only two answers: foo or
bar.  I'd like to be charitable and assume that you are a bit confused
about what constitutes the declaration of a function, but your not
answering this question suggests otherwise.  It suggests to me that you
don't want to say because it would be so obviously false.

That's the good part.  I don't think many people reading this will come
away thinking that the pointer parameter declaration is a second
declaration for either "foo" or "bar".  After all there were two
functions and only two function declarations in the whole code example.
