Mathias would very much like to see the unification of
delegates and function pointers. There was general agreement
that this is a good goal to aim for. Mathias subsequently
informed me he will look into it once some other things are
off his TODO list if no one else gets to it first.
I still believe it should be fairly simple:

Actually, the idea I had in mind is a little different.
Because a delegate is essentially:
```D
T function (T, Args..)(void* ctx, Args args)
```
It should be possible for the compiler to generate a call to a
trampoline function that just forwards to the actual function:
```D
RT _d_trampoline (FT, RT, Args..)(void* ctx, Args args)
{
return (cast(FT) ctx)(args);
}
```
