//    the type declared is "/nested declarator/ pointer to array of 3 int"
// 3. the nested declarator is "(*foo)(double)", which is a function declarator
//    the type declared is "/nested declarator/ function taking double and returning

// 4. the nested declarator is "(*foo)" which is a (parenthesized, as required by
//        function declarator syntax) pointer declarator.
//    the type declared is "/nested declarator/ pointer to function taking double
//        and returning pointer to array of 3 int"
// 5. the nested declarator is "foo", which is an identifier.
// The declaration introduces the identifier "foo" to refer to an object of type
// "pointer to function taking double and returning pointer to array of 3 int"
// The initializer "= NULL" provides the initial value of this pointer.
 
// If "foo" is used in an expression of the form of the declarator, its type would be
// int.
