Delegates are not parametrized on the type of "this", which makes them 
easier to move around. I would not change delegates.

But function pointers with a "this" parameter would be useful. You can 
achieve this using a template struct containing a pointer and a call 
method: the call method would generate a local delegate variable from 
the pointer and and call it. What you can't do without compiler support 
is get such a pointer in a type-safe manner.
