It only really matters if you try to compare a (void *) that points to a function against a (void *) that points to data, or if function pointers have a much different cost to carry around (e.g. one pointer type is larger than the other). The latter could happen back in the old 16-bit x86 days, depending on your memory model. For example, "near" code (16 bit offset-only pointer) vs. "far" data (32-bit segment:offset pointer) or vice versa.
