As long as the GC can see the delegate in your example you
should be OK. But if it is held on to by a C or OS lib, the GC
might not see it and you'd have to addRoot or something to
ensure it stays in.
With lambdas in C++ you can cherrypick captures the way you want,
then somehow this can be converted to an std::function and this
is where it goes on the heap as well.
In D, how does the compiler know what captures it is supposed to
store, or does it take the whole lot?
