/*
	A little comment here
	
	My previous attempts to use operator()(...) and operator FuncPtrType () with MSVC
    failed, where FuncPtrType is a function pointer typedef. That technique, enables
	more control over a functor object. ie: can implement delay load among many exciting
	features. That technique, however, works with g++ line of compilers.

	This current implementation is design for use with MSVC line of compilers only. 

	It seems, from the MSVC compiler error message, that "operator FuncPtrType ()" is 
	never a candidate function, not to mention viability. I guess this is how they 
	design and implemented MSVC6. ".net" version doesnt "evaluate" 
	"operator FuncPtrType()" properly as well.
