+# Wikipedia:
+# A closure is a record storing a function[a] together with an environment:
+# a mapping associating each free variable of the function (variables that are used locally, but
+# defined in an enclosing scope) with the value or reference to which the name was bound when
+# the closure was created.A closure—unlike a plain function—allows the function to access those
+# captured variables through the closure's copies of their values or references, even when the function
+# is invoked outside their scope.
