Mmm, very nice!  Kind of a weird paraphrasis, but at least it works. To
minimize hassle, I turned it into a template:

	enum void delegate(Args) doNothing(Args...) = (Args args) {};

	struct S {
		void delegate(int x) dg1 = doNothing!(int);
		void delegate(float y) dg2 = doNothing!(float);
		void delegate(int x, int y) dg3 = doNothing!(int,int);
	}

Do you think the first line is worth an addition to Phobos, maybe
alongside toDelegate?  It's non-obvious enough that it might save a
newbie (or a not-so-newbie like myself :-P) a lot of headache.
