Yes, this is certainly a risk. Another similar risk is treating instance
(reference) field capture as a capture of the final 'this' reference rather
than simply capturing only the relevant reference fields.
Like everything else, there is a tradeoff to be made -- potentially pinning
more objects in memory vs reducing the cost of lambda capture.
