Right, I used to this sort of thing in C++ prior to C++11. I think not having an RAII wrapper for lambdas similar to std::function<> is an oversight for D, especially for people averse to GC. That little bit of syntactic sugar makes a huge difference.
std::function<> is a lot more than syntactic sugar, it is a runtime-heavy construct. From http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/functional/function :
«Class template std::function is a general-purpose polymorphic function wrapper. Instances of std::function can store, copy, and invoke any Callable target -- functions, lambda expressions, bind expressions, or other function objects, as well as pointers to member functions and pointers to data members.»
I don't think you want this...
