Add support for static anonymous functions #988

| A non-`static` local function or non-`static` anonymous function can capture state from an enclosing `static` anonymous function, but cannot capture state outside the enclosing static anonymous function. | ||

Should static ensure that all delegate instances converted from the same anonymous function shall compare equal? (That would not require any caching of delegate instances.)
using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
class C {
Action G() {
return static () => {};
}
void M() {
Debug.Assert(G() == G());
}
}I think static should not guarantee this equality. IIRC Roslyn generates an instance method even for a static anonymous function because it is more efficient for the calling convention. Then the delegate will refer to some instance, and will compare unequal if it refers to a different instance. Requiring such an implementation to ensure that the same instance is used every time might cost additional interlocked operations for thread safety.

Maybe a note about this in the specification of delegate equality would be useful though.
