           Summary: Casting a function literal to void* swallows the
                    function or segfaults

When saving a delegate as a void* and only using one delegate from the same
function, attempts to execute the delegate by casting to the original type do
nothing.

When saving multiple delegates from the same function, if any of them are cast
to void*, a segmentation fault occurs.

Casting is inherently dangerous, I know, but there's no other way to pass a
delegate while ignoring its type.
