Yes, but then this = null. I matters not for my use case.
'this' is not null in either case. There is no 'this'.
Please stop saying that:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_(computer_programming)
this is more general than you think.
The compiler knows about the context pointer, your delegate has no name
for it. And in a lambda that does not need one, there is no context
pointer, it's not a pointer that's set to null.
I fully understand what you're looking for. In D, 'this' means the
object/struct that a method is being called with. If you don't have an
object delegate, then you don't have a 'this' reference (and by that I
mean a named parameter to the member function called 'this' or any other
name).
