It would start to become untenable, but I would imagine closures would
be implicitly convertible to scope delegates, since in effect they are
a subtype, and anywhere a scope delegate could be used, a closure
could be used as well.  Add to that implicit conversion from functions
to delegates using thunks and bam, you could have a function take one
type and it could accept all three.
