You may now commence griping about how C++ sucks, is overly complex,
and these changes only make it worse.
Closures are somewhat useful, at least if the language has garbage
collection.
I find that an odd statement. You can use functors as closures already
in C++ (C++0X just avoids it being so syntactically cumbersome), and
I've done this a fair bit for at least 5 years. While aspects of C++
have, as always, proven to be annoying when doing this, memory
management never really cropped up as a particular problem with
functors. Can you give an example of how explicit memory management
limits the usefulness of closures?
