Yes, thank you, I was aware of that. As it turns out, there's other stuff I need to do with my delegate that I can't do (namely, treat the .ptr portion of it as a pointer to a class derived from some interface Foo), so I ended up having to create a little class wrapper.
I add the class to the GC's root with std.gc.addRoot(). This should work, right (rather than storing it in an AA)?
