Solidity and Truffle Tips and Tricks - function pointers

There is a possibility to use function pointers in solidity. Practically you can define a function and set a variable defining the type of the variable as var:

contract TetFunctionPointer{

  function myFunction (uint256 input){
  }

  function testFunction(){
      var fvPointer = this.myFunction;
      fvPointer(22);
  }
}
