Task Delegate Conversions

[TonyValenti]

Hi All,
It would be nice if Funcs and Actions could be automatically converted to their task equivalents. For example:

//This takes a task<bool>
public async Task DoSomething(Func<Task<bool>> Method){
  var ret = await Method();
  if(!ret){
    throw new Exception();
  }
}

public Task<Bool> Test1(){
  return Task.FromResult(true);
}

public bool Test2(){
  return True;
}

//All of these should work:
DoSomething(Test1);
DoSomething(Test2);
DoSomething(()=> await Test1());
DoSomething(() => Test2());
DoSomething(()=> true);

The conversion from a func/action to a task would essentially be call the func/action and then return either Task.CompletedTask (if it was an action) or Task.FromResult(...) if it was a func.

Not sure I like the idea of hiding that expense and complexity in an automatic conversion.
