Add a conversion to delegates

Great to see you have added this to your backlog. In the mean time I have had a bit of a play about in my extensions project (see link below). You will see that they are a bit clumsy as you need a separate method for each number of parameters. I have not been able to find a better way to do this. Another issue with this is you would need to know exactly how many parameters the function expects to know the delegate you need to define. It would be nice if reflection or such like could be used to scrape the info from the Closure class.

I would assume from this whole Moonsharp project that your coding is much more advanced than mine so hopefully you will come up with a neater solution than mine.

ClosureExtensions.cs

Hi, question solved I think.

public delegate object ScriptFunctionDelegate(params object[] args);
public delegate T ScriptFunctionDelegate<T>(params object[] args);

and in Closure.cs

    /// <summary>
    /// Gets a delegate wrapping calls to this scripted function
    /// </summary>
    /// <returns></returns>
    public ScriptFunctionDelegate GetDelegate()
    {
        return args => this.Call(args).ToObject();
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Gets a delegate wrapping calls to this scripted function
    /// </summary>
    /// <typeparam name="T">The type of return value of the delegate.</typeparam>
    /// <returns></returns>
    public ScriptFunctionDelegate<T> GetDelegate<T>()
    {
        return args => this.Call(args).ToObject<T>();
    }

I will include these in the next release.

That looks great, and a lot simpler than the way I was working. I'm looking forward to trying it out in the next release.

Done. GetDelegate and GetDelegate methods in Closure.cs.
