ConstructorInfo ought to have a CreateDelegate method, just as MethodInfo has.

This issue has been moved from a ticket on Developer Community.

Given ConstructorInfo has an Invoke method, why not have a CreateDelegate method, so I can invoke it in a type-safe manner, without boxing and object[] allocation?

Thank you for taking the time to provide your suggestion. We will do some preliminary checks to make sure we can proceed further. You will hear from us in about a week on our next steps.

A constructor on a type is really a void-returning instance method, but presumably if you want to wrap a constructor within a delegate you actually wanted to instantiate the object, returning the new object instance. This isn't something that can be accomplished with a single method invocation. See #32520 for an alternative proposal which attempts to provide a usable API for this scenario.
