Can't detect irony, captain.  *You* don't need to write a delegate to 
get the string.  That lower-level facility should have been packed up in 
the standard library function to!string which you don't need to care. 
All you need is to call the simple and easy function to!string(x) 1000 
times if you want to waste 1000 memory allocations to get 1000 copy of 
strings.
