No. I'm obsessed with finding out what closures are, since nobody seems to have a good definition of them! However, I have learnt some things: closures are something which functions HAVE, not ARE. The func_closure attribute is just part of the implementation of the closure. Some languages have closures and some don't. And a closure is something that lets a function object access the lexical scope that existed when the function object was created, e.g. the namespace of the function which created it.
