 Since functions also have pointers, we can use `FunctionPointer` instances accordingly, in ways similar to the [`FunPtr` type of Haskell FFI](http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/base/4.6.0.0/doc/html/Foreign-Ptr.html#g:2), but where any `java.lang.Throwable` object thrown gets translated to `std::exception`.
