I'm not sure how the implementation of this would work in general.

Actually you can:

http://www.digitalmars.com/d/function.html
"Lazy Variadic Functions

If the variadic parameter is an array of delegates with no parameters:

void foo(int delegate()[] dgs ...);

Then each of the arguments whose type does not match that of the delegate is 
converted to a delegate."
