Oh, I didn't notice until now that your "I find it strange..." post was 
referring to nested functions. The link was talking about anonymous 
functions (although maybe using them like nested funcs in some cases), and 
then I didn't read your post carefully and thought you were saying "people 
keep reinventing anonymous functions in ugly ways".
