I answered the rest of his message, but missed his original question.
A function type with an unspecified number of arguments is compatible
with one that has a parameter type list, which is why that is not a
constraint violation. The requirement in 6.7.6.3p15, that both function
types must have matching parameter lists, only applies "if both are
present". If either parameter list is not present, then the parameter
list that is present doesn't interfere with compatibility.
