I guess we're kind of stuck with 'create_function' being the mess that it is. But perhaps something like 'temp_function' or 'local_function' or 'lexical_closure' or something similar. Even 'horse' [*] would be fine by me. I think it muddies things too much to have it just be 'function' with no name after it. +1 * [sings] "In the desert, on a horse with no name" -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want?
