I am not arguing to remove the feature, rather to have the compiler check it for me. Surely it can see if I am passing the delegate to D code or extern C/C++ code and act accordingly.
How would this work? Function pointers are only a single word in D code as well (and a single unconditional jump to that address) , whereas delegates are two words. What is if a function accepts a delegate, but a function pointer is passed? What is if a delegate is passed to a (possibly C) function – does the compiler automatically emit a thunk for that?
