Pointer of a static lambda

[WhiteBlackGoose]

So, there are static lambdas, which is great syntax sugar for inlining methods which you don't want to use twice and passing them as lambdas.

There are also normal static methods, to which we can get a function pointer for high-performance/PInvoke and anything.

So... why not to have pointers to static lambdas?

The syntax might look like

&static a => 5

The type inference will work based on the target pointer, so e. g.

delegate*<int, int> inc = &static a => a + 1;

This

var inc = &static a => a + 1;

is invalid (same way as with normal lambdas).

---

I guess the code

delegate*<int, int> inc = &static a => a + 1;

will be expanded by Roslyn into

delegate*<int, int> inc = &SomethingQuack.Method;

...

static class SomethingQuack
{
    internal static int Method(int a) => a + 1;
}

So, what do you think?
