I think, though, that there might be some issues. I'm pretty sure the
compiler gets confused if you block compile closures.
I can't remember precisely what happens, but it didn't like closures.
I don't think there was any warning; either the compiler crashed or
your code crashed when run.
And if you do this for a large file, you'll need lots and lots of
memory.
