As an update, I have made an experiment to automatically generate extension
methods that do this. It kind of works and reduces the immediate need for
this. Especially in the context of static compilation. The issue is always
what to choose as the default delegation strategy. While delegate first is
often the one used in DSL, I could also see benefit in using delegate only
in the context of statically generated code...
