Actually, the mangling means that foo is a pointer to a pointer to a
member function of AB with int result and no parameters, which I think
is represented as:

        int (AB::***foo)();

True?

Well, here foo is a pointer to member data of AB of type pointer to
pointer to function with int result and no parameters, which I think
is:

	int ( ** AB::*foo) ();

Am I close?

Disgusting, I would have said...
