I'd actually rather it /didn't/ work in any cases, and just returned void*. 
The .funcptr property of delegates too.  From what I can tell the main use 
of this 'feature' is to cause nasty bugs whenever somebody accidentally 
takes the address of a non-static member function without an instance.
Last time I checked, phobos uses this in a couple of places to see if a 
member function can be called with a specific set of args, but this can be 
replaced with S.init.func(...).  There is an existing bug report for this 
somewhere.
