And I must confess while re-reading the code I typed above, I'm not
entirely sure it is valid C# :)

Since IComparer is an interface and not a delegate type, that is..

Not at a compiler so cannot really verify nor falsify, but my gut
feeling is "not possible".

So will it be UsingComparer at the end of the day anyway..? :)
