The point I'm trying to make is that closures need to carry an
environment, and that implies that they are able to hold state. I chose
a sequence generator to demonstrate this, but the argument is not about
the example, but rather of how the implications (stateful closures) are
to be implemented in a meaningful manner.


Kind Regards,

David.
