I disagree. Closures work well in Scheme (more generally, Lisps) 
and ML, which are not purely functional languages. In SICP *, the 
combination of closures and mutable state is used to model OO. I 
used closures more than I used OO in OCaml.

Things are trickier in D for a trickier of reasons. You may be 
right about not running the destructor; I'm still thinking about 
it.
