Typical Usage
Now I know that Unity already has its own Invoke method but Unity's method only accepts a string specifying the method name.I wrote this method to be able to specify an anonymous lambda instead of the string.
Note that the method's return type is IEnumerator since it yields, therefore we must invoke it with StartCoroutine.
StartCoroutine(InvokeInSeconds(0.5f, () => Destroy(gameObject))); // Destroy the gameObject in 0.5 seconds
