I like that a lot better.  But if you're wrapping a function pointer in a 
delegate reference, is a thunk really needed?  I mean, the function won't be 
accessing the context pointer, so why not just set the delegate's context 
pointer to null?

i.e.

int foo()
{

}

int delegate() bar = cast(int delegate())&foo;
// bar's function address is &foo, and bar.ptr == null
