A simple example where explain fails.

                 *works*
cdecl> declare a as pointer to function(int) returning void
void (*a)(int )
cdecl> explain void (*a)(int)
declare a as pointer to function (int) returning void

              *does not work*
cdecl> declare a as pointer to function(b as int) returning void
void (*a)(int b)
cdecl> explain void (*a)(int b)
syntax error
