Oh, right.

Also, the value of a pointer to a template function doesn't exist until
you cast it to a normal function pointer with a matching signature, and
that's not a reinterpret_cast at all. BUT if you cast the resulting
function pointer again, it will be a reinterpret_cast. That's a funny one.
(I learned that stuff while trying to implement my Ruby extension called
GridFlow.)

But fortunately neither of those issues applies to the Ruby source.
