Precisely. The concept is already embedded inside of delegate, but delegate
is framed like a piece of magic, rather than a well defined compound of
more primitive pieces.
Those primitive pieces would be useful in certain cases (like mine, and
yours).

I think the only missing detail is a way to express a 'thiscall' function
pointer, which I believe my suggestion satisfies quite nicely.
