Is there any reason (not) to allow member pointers to PEM functions?

They would just be treated like any other non-static member function, except that the code creating the pointer is limited to the class-internal code, which may call PEM functions? And any code, even external to the class, may call the pointed to PEM?

Except that if you were to return a pointer to a private extension method from
a public/protected one, it is shared and cannot be internal linkage.
