What I'm saying is that you are annoyed by the (closure ...) thingy
mostly because you're used to seeing (lambda ...) rather than because
there's an actual problem with the (closure ...) itself.

IOW if it had always behaved that way, you wouldn't be bothered by it.

If I had my way, we'd never see any (lambda ...) value nor any (closure
...) value, but we'd instead see things more like #<function ...> or
maybe #[function ...] ;-)
