My point was that competing designs are very probably not necessary. We

Yes, IMO it is quite obvious how to do it. (transfer the meaning of the
modifiers from member functions to local functions, disallow conversion to const
for delegates and disallow loading a mutable delegate from a const receiver.)
However, I think there are other opinions. There will probably always be as long
as nothing is specified as the official behaviour.
A delegate works exactly like a member function call. It has an implicit 'this'
pointer, and how the 'this' pointer is qualified, just like for a member
function, determines how it works.
