I am not arguing to remove the feature, rather to have the compiler

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?

Yes, that is what I had in mind. That is what is done in .NET as far as
I am aware.
