 Yes, this should work. It's the same idea as used by the macros I wrote
about except that they use a dummy function (but a dummy variable works
just as well) while here we have a "real" one we can use already.

 OTOH one can wonder if the above is really any better than just having
a set_default_alert_functions(void) function and calling it from alert.cpp?
So maybe the simplest would be just do it like this?
