My 1!
Not close enough. First, delegate instance is a class. Did not know that?
It support the list of invocation -- a whole list. If even the element of the list would be just one pointer, where get the "this" -- calls are done on non-static handlers as well. Do you know?

Please don't answer if you know nothing!
