Yes I tried that as well. It still doesn't solve the issue. The
delegate being returned doesn't return a delegate, it returns the
"void" type. You would need to write delegate() delegate()
delegate() delegate() ...FOREVER. I can't figure out a way to
write this in the language even though the machine code it
generates should be quite trivial.
