Hmm, this makes it pretty clear I don't know what I'm talking about
when it comes to the wheres and hows and whys of dynamic closure
creation in D2.  Sorry for the noise.  (please forgive me superdan!)

What I can say for sure, is that D1 has been working pretty well for
me, so I just hope the solution doesn't involve a much more cumbersome
syntax for things that used to work fine in D1.
