I am fully open to being impressed. I have more than a decade of C++
programming under my belt, although not much for the past few years.

Somehow, C# manages it just fine.

C# does it at compile-time. C++ could have and should have introduced
delegates early on. The method pointer syntax was screaming for delegate
semantics. Too bad that didn't occur to Stroustrup until it was too
late.

I really don't understand why you are taking all of this so personally.
We are just discussing different aspects of different programming
languages.
