hm. Could have passed in some silly flag rather than a function
pointer but whatever.

Readability nit: it's better to use the

threshold = (*calculate_pressure)(zone);

syntax here. So the code reader doesn't go running around trying to
find the function "calculate_pressure". I've been fooled that way
plenty of times.
