Actually, joke's on you - that actually is opAssign. Static opAssign. stackthread is a struct. :p

You're right about the semantics though. The problem is that I don't want to use a function call, because it requires you to place a closing paren far, far away at the other end of the delegate literal, and it is my firm conviction that }); looks butt ugly and should die.
So, if you can recommend a better operator than opAssign, one with better semantics, I'm all ears. :)
