Disagree.  If `run-with-timer' has the possibility of passing values,
that should be preferred over `lexical-let'.  Whether one wants to use
a named or an anonymous lambda function is, in contrast, more a matter
of taste.

If this were Scheme, using a closure would more or less be natural,
but in Emacs Lisp, this is just ugly.
