Hi Ralf,

And nicer than my idea of a union between a data and function pointer.  Is
there any way to move the testsuite addition away from mdemo and into the
autotest arena?  But as it is, this is an improvement over no test at all,
so I would go ahead and check it in if trying to put it in autotest proves
too challenging.
