I'm 99% certain using the method name "Invoke" would be rejected on the grounds
of backwards compatibility.
Adding a new syntax using "default" like "function Add9(const N: Integer):
Integer; default;" would probably be rejected on the grounds that it's
new syntax alone (that is default is only used with properties currently).
Why ? I'm proposing it. As far as I'm concerned, it is the way to go.
You could use it to easily promote a method to default on existing calls.
