Hi,

I am looking at using your PicoC project in a potential research project / game 
instead of Lua and would really like to see this feature implemented if you 
still have time :)

However, for a temporary solution to function pointers, it is possible to take 
advantage of the dynamic nature of PicoC to call the function by name rather 
than pointer. I have added to pastebin an example patch and test driver that 
may benefit others looking for a quick solution (unless this has already been 
implemented in which case please ignore my noise ;).

PicoC Patch:

Test Example:

However, I think the main problem with my solution is there will be quite a 
speed hit when looking for the function by string.

Thank you very much for your work so far. I really like this project and the 
code is extremely readable.
