I just filled the blanks you left. Note that my snippet still includes 
`typeof(&method)` verbatim. The added `typeof(&C.method)` is just bonus.

If you have code that fails unexpectedly, please feel free to post it.

Going from static to non-static means going from `function` to 
`delegate`. I don't think there's a way around that. You can get a 
`function` type from a method, but it won't be useful with actual methods.
