I've got a delegate as a member of a class and I want to give it 
a default value. I can assign it an initial value in each 
initializer of the class but I'd like to make my code more 
readable and assign it a function at the declaration.

Trying to toDelegate the situation gives me the following Error:

Error: dummyDel.funcptr cannot be evaluated at compile time		

Is there a workaround? Or am I stuck assigning my default 
function to the delegate in each initializer?

For an instance memember, no you can't do that. Delegates are not 
compile time values and you can only include compile time values 
in declarations at module scope and class member scope. The best 
you can do is assign it in a constructor.
