The way my lexical-binding branch makes closures is basically with a new
`curried function' type, e.g.:

   (funcall (curry '+ 2 3 4) 5) => 14

So a closure is just:

  (curry (lambda (env arg1 ...) ...)
         environment-vector)

Since the curried-functions are very, very, simple[*], I think it shouldn't
be a problem to merge that into the trunk.

[*] basically my patch just makes lisp vectors funcallable
