The problem here is that the D calling convention for functions 
is different from that of delegates for whatever reason, hence an 
implicit cast would hide actual work (essentially the work 
toDelegate does).

As for an explicit cast, I don't see much value in it over 
toDelegate (as long as we can make toDelegate work for all cases 
- which is a test of perfect forwarding).

Anyway, I think there has been an enhancement request for this 
previously?
