No it is not.  C-style functions (or C++ functions for that
matter) are not objects, and do not have calling operators.
Built-in operators do not belong to a type, in the way that class
operators do.

You can assign a C-style function pointer to an auto

A C-style function /pointer/ is an object.  A C-style /function/ is
not. Do you understand the difference? 

 
Practically there isn't a difference.

For C, I agree, mostly because C has no nested functions.
For C++ (after C++11) I am less sure, because of lambdas with
non-empty captures.
