It might be nice to print an empty arglist as "()" instead of "nil" too. 
While both of those are equivalent, I think "()" is more idiomatic when 
showing an arglist. Currently we have:

   (lambda () (setq foo 1))
   ;; => (closure (t) nil (setq foo 1))

In that case, since there's no captured variables and no args, it might 
be nicer to show it as:

   (closure () () (setq foo 1))

Or even:

   (closure () (setq foo 1))
