No ability to tell when a delegate will be destroyed (currently it isn't
even destroyed when it should, see Issue 9602).

When a delegate is created information about it's outer scope is lost
instead of being stored in it's ptr.

Looks self-evident.

It stores the information about delegate's outer scope wasting (oh God,
how many, especially in contrast to GC allocation) a few bytes.

As everything I have written above is known, I still don't understand
why you are telling about signal fixing as a main problem as it is just
an example of problems that occurs when we throw away outer scope
information without any practical reason, IMO.
