All right, that's a good point.
Could we really not persist an anonymous function, though? It can be
printed and, I suppose, evaluated. At least in theory, whatever links it
has to containing lexical contexts, should be possible to "detach" when
writing the literal to disk, to be read later.
The issue with doing this at the level of xref--create-fetcher, is that
the addition becomes specific to the Xref searches only (find
definitions/references), and the more generic Xref UI infrastructure
remains unsupported (such as 'M-x project-find-regexp' or whatever calls
to xref-show-xrefs exist in third-party packages) -- so those Xref
buffers would remain not bookmark-able, or they will each require
specialized code like the one you proposed here.
