C definitely does _not_ have closures.
By virtue of the fact that you can't nest procedure calls, function
pointers are closures in C. :-) Everything is either local or global,
so as far as I understand the definition of closure, this means a
function pointer runs in the same environment in which the pointer was
created. :-)

It's not feature creep if you put it
at the end and adjust the release date.
