I suspect that you could get away with JUST using global and/or static

Does anybody really *NEED* a variable whose scope is non-global and
captured at the time of the func definition, carried over beyond the
scope of that until it's executed?...
Somehow I think you're just complicating it "because you can" rather
than because anybody really NEEDS this.
Objects provide for functions with state (methods and properties), in a
way that doesn't cause headaches with scoping. So although I would love
the convenience of closures in certain places, I can't argue that there
is a NEED for them.

couple that I've come to a real understanding of it all.
