Precisely. The concept is already embedded inside of delegate, but delegate is framed like a piece of magic, rather than a well defined compound of more primitive pieces.
Delegates are not parametrized on the type of "this", which makes them easier to move around. I would not change delegates.
But function pointers with a "this" parameter would be useful. You can achieve this using a template struct containing a pointer and a call method: the call method would generate a local delegate variable from the pointer and and call it. What you can't do without compiler support is get such a pointer in a type-safe manner.
