Of course, I can. I have been creating a lot of such workarounds 
with C++ for years. And this is one of the flaws of C++ - for 
every simple task (like a delegate or properties) you need to 
create a workaround because C++ standardization Committee thinks 
that it shouldn't be a part of the language.
