But... I don't want my delegates to be lazy - breeding advice

IMHO it has nothing to do with C/C++ programmers moving over.  It's bad 
because:

1) It's not intuitive to cast expressions into anonymous delegates.

2) It causes ridiculous overload issues:
class A {...}  class B : A {...}
void q(A a); void q(void delegate() a);
void whatever() {
   B b = new B();
   q(b); // this should not be ambiguous, but is
}

3) If I understand, the expression will be evaluated multiple times, 
once every time you use it in the function, unless you copy it into a 
different value, which is just painful.
