I know it looks silly but if you make that:

          printers[i] = (int i) { return () { write(i); }; }(i);

it will do what you want.

This is something that used to be common in javascript, write a 
little function that passes the capture-by-value args and returns 
the lambda you actually want and call it immediately.

That extra layer causes the compiler to create a new copy of the 
capture variables snapshotted in time.
