I have another observation about names. Instead of using an arbitrary name, as the name of the function, wouldn't it be possible to let the name be derived from the function-body. Eg., if you took the function-body's tokens and created a hash from them. This would have two implications: 1) Multiple definitions of the same function would be optimised into one. And more importantly 2) , it would be possible to serialize/unserialize a closure. Of course, this won't work if an anonymous function is a resource, since resources can't be serialized. This would work for Wez' original patch though.
