All that whoopla about the nature of return inside a closure is not more than a hidden yield (with the exceptions complications added). If you want to make custom for constructs i'd HIGHLY, HIGHLY advocate that we look at python generators.<br /><br />Do you know why they are moving away from higher order functions. Because they get hard to read... Now add Generics and types like in java. The result is not pretty for me.Paulonoreply@blogger.com
