It may be a good idea to analyze the current Delphi implementation.
In essence the anonymous method expands to a class and interface.
The interface Execute method has the parameters of the anonymous function.
and the corresponding interface has the Execute method.
The class contains all the variables that are captured from the current
context, and the constructor of the class does the capture.
The class is reference counted trough the interface, and is disposed when
all references are released.
There are some interesting side effects and benefits from the
implementation, and there are fear number of articles about that on the web.

This is an important step for several reasons:
