This, at least, seems to be a requirement of static closures.  In Lua, which 
supports them, when you instantiate a static closure, the values it uses 
from enclosing scopes ("upvalues") are "frozen" - they are copied into the 
closure's instance.  Then, updating the value using the closure doesn't 
affect the original variable.  This is an important feature so that multiple 
instances of closures can be created which don't step on each others' toes, 
so to speak.
