Hm... hmmmm... fixing this has been suggested before, but always
foundered on the fact that creating a closure required a cycle, which
would leak memory.  Now we have an optional GC that should handle
this, so maybe fixing it can be revisited.  (But this would mean that
GC is essentially no longer optional -- maybe too radical a thing to
do before we're sure about the new GC.  2.1, maybe?)
