I'm 99% certain using the method name "Invoke" would be rejected on the grounds
of backwards compatibility.
Adding a new syntax using "default" like "function Add9(const N: Integer):
Integer; default;" would probably be rejected on the grounds that it's new
syntax alone (that is default is only used with properties currently).
I would say an operator would be most likely to be accepted, such as:
class operator Call(....);
because it could be overloaded easily and doesn't present any new syntax.
Personally I like this idea but I tend to favor new syntaxes.
