Technically, these are both the same problem. :-)  I just thought that was 
an amusing observation when I saw it: C *does* have closures. It just 
doesn't have nested function scopes, so closures and pointers-to-functions 
are the same thing in C.

I really have to wonder, sometimes, how far people are going to mutate C++ 
before they just give up and decide they're done. :-)
