Indeed, after Dan's suggestion I was thinking that we might proceed along the lines of "limited closures", where we do some quick-and-dirty processing of simple closure assertions until we do have a Perl 6 compiler lying around that can handle it for us. :-) But I'd like to first get to where we're parsing rules and matching them in parrot before I dive fully into handling closures.
