Actually, the idea I had in mind is a little different.
Because a delegate is essentially:
```D
T function (T, Args..)(void* ctx, Args args)
```
It should be possible for the compiler to generate a call to a
trampoline function that just forwards to the actual function:
```D
RT _d_trampoline (FT, RT, Args..)(void* ctx, Args args)
{
return (cast(FT) ctx)(args);
}
```
As far as I'm aware, Walter is against that.
<https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17156#c3>:
The compiler could, behind the curtain, generate a wrapper to do this (as you
suggest), but that has negative performance implications that users could find
very surprising because it would be hidden from them. I prefer the library
template solution for that reason.
But that was years ago, maybe he's more open to the idea now.
