Do you mean if the anonymous function has no state it’s only a single function
call?
After reading old forum posts it sounded like this was going to be implemented
by some reference counted structure which was allocated on the heap and even
using interfaces perhaps. Depending on how this is implemented it may not be
possible to prevent them from capturing state if the anonymous function
accesses variables in the parent scope.
How much of that is accurate?
