Description
@tmat brought up a scenario where they would find it very useful if StreamJsonRpc supported passing delegates as arguments over JSON-RPC.
We already support passing IProgress<T> (and other exotic types) which effectively provides a callback target that is very unique to a particular RPC call. Passing a raw delegate just makes it that much easier and gives a more native .NET feel.
