I see. Thanks for the detailed answer.
I should clarify one point, I realized I am somewhat inaccurate on the
reason the type is set to immutable(dchar). In fact, nobody actually
wrote the immutable(dchar) function, it's just that the element type is
immutable(dchar). However, the reasons why someone would want to create a
function that takes an immutable(dchar) function are as I stated -- so you
don't accidentally change the value.
Still no excuse that delegates cannot be implicitly cast to compatible
versions.
I just looked up Wikipedia for lambdas in different languages and
found out, that C# has an awesome syntax for that:
x => x * x
(x, y) => x == y
(int x, string s) => s.Length > x
() => SomeMethod()
n => { string s = n + " " + "World"; Console.WriteLine(s); }
In the not so distant past, Walter explored different ways to improve the
lambda syntax on this news group (which included similarities to the
above). This usually means he is considering adding that change, let's
hope so :)
