to be honest no, I was just arguing for coherent behavior between
generator expressions and closures, Tim and Phillip J. Eby  argued (are 
arguing) against late binding.

It is true that successively in an OT-way I mildly proposed 
non-late-binding semantics but for _all_ closures wrt to free variables 
apart from globals,
  but I got that a fraction of people still would like rebinding support 
for closer-over vars (something I don't miss personally) , and there are 
subtle issues wrt recursive references, which while solvable would make the 
semantics rather DWIMish
, not a good thing.
