I agree here. Also think about e.g. Synchronize. You must create a 
parameterless method + fields for each method you want to execute in the 
main thread. Here I definitely prefer anonymous methods.  And an also 
important aspect of them is that they can "capture" variable state from 
outside it's body. You can't do the exact same with nested procedures...
