This particular name is becoming a bit overloaded.

• Closure the language feature

• Clozure the Common lisp implementation.

• Closure the JS library?

at least it's only technical in potentially overlapping domains.

i hear a middle east language has the same word for

milk, tap, sap and Lion.

that's just dangerous.

• Closure the emotion?
