   I use it property in the BeforeInheritance stage. See line 136 in
macros\compiler.n. In this stage the parent_type field is not yet set and
old implementation of IsDelegate return false for all types.
   
   May be set the is_delegate at delegate added in old stage? Or combine two
approaches? For example:
   public override IsDelegate : bool
   {
     get
     {
       if (is_delegate)
         true
       else
       {
         parent_type != null
         && parent_type.tycon.FullName == "System.MulticastDelegate"
       }
     }
   }
