No, it'll be a 2.0 feature. It's conceptually simple, but there are a lot of tricky details to get right.

Did you ever look at my proposal (http://www.digitalmars.com/drn-bin/wwwnews?D/24868)?  I was curious what you thought of it.  On the one hand, it's pretty ambitious...but it seems sort of D-ish to me.  It is certainly an interesting blending of delegates with arrays...

It's a good idea, but there are several tricky implementation issues due to the vagaries of the various function calling conventions.

Supporting null in place of the frame/object pointer of a delegate seems a straightforward solution to me....

And would we still have the basic function pointer, for situations where a delegate would be unnecessary, or perhaps be unusable by foreign code/APIs?
