While it might be fine, I would be concerned that people wouldn't 
understand the difference between a function and a delegate. They 
would figure that if you can store a function reference in a 
void* then you should be able to fit a delegate in as well, and 
proceed to lose data.

I would make it something where the compiler forces you to make 
an explicit cast. Before that, it should warn you about the 
potential loss of data.
