I notice on the delegates page of the D site it reads:
"Delegates cannot be initialized with static member functions or non-member
functions."

Why is this? Does this mean I have to choose between them in my code? I'd
hate to be the one to make the choice whether a particular callback works
with only methods or only free functions. I can see that delegates not
supposed to replace function pointers, but there needs to be a way to accept
either a function pointer or a delegate.
