How can I declare a class member function with a callback 
function pointer?

delegates do not require dynamic memory.

&obj.member doesn't allocate any new memory (it just points to 
the existing object) yet yields a delegate.

Only if you're using a lambda or a delegate that captures local
variables.

Chapter "Memory Management":

"D has built-in types that may be difficult to use without the 
GC: exceptions, strings, dynamic arrays, associative arrays, and 
delegate closures."

I would like to do something like this:

interface Timer
{
     void delegate pCallbackFunction(void);

     this();
     void Start(ushort milliseconds, pCallbackFunction);
     void Halt();
     void Restart();
}
