I'm a bit confused with the behavior of function type stringification:

----
int main(string[]args){
  auto foo=&main;
  pragma(msg,typeid(typeof(foo)));
  pragma(msg,typeid(typeof(foo)).stringof);

  //pragma(msg,typeid(typeof(foo)));

  import std.stdio;
  writeln(typeid(typeof(foo)).stringof);
  writeln(typeid(typeof(foo)));
  writeln(typeof(&main).stringof);

  writeln(typeid(typeof(main)).stringof);
  writeln(typeof(main).stringof);
  return 0;
}
----

dmd -run main.d:

& D17TypeInfo_PFAAyaZi6__initZ
&D17TypeInfo_PFAAyaZi6__initZ
&D17TypeInfo_PFAAyaZi6__initZ
int()*
int function(string[] args)
&D16TypeInfo_FAAyaZi6__initZ
int(string[] args)

A)
pragma(msg,typeid(typeof(foo))); adds an extra space compared to
pragma(msg,typeid(typeof(foo)).stringof);

B)
can someone please explain the behavior of each stringification? Eg,
writeln(typeid(typeof(foo))) discards input argument types (int()*), etc.
