For what sort of closures? This currying implementation originated with the
closures in my lexical-binding implementation -- _after_ I had implemented
the mechanism for doing closures, I realized that it was precisely the same
as the currying operator, and so now I called it that, as that's a more
interesting operation in standard emacs. But it's the same thing as closures
for me (not just similar, the same).
Do you some sort of closure implementation in mind that's necessarily
different?
