Samuele Pedroni provided the example of late binding.

to be honest no, I was just arguing for coherent behavior between generator expressions and closures, Tim and Phillip J. Eby argued (are arguing) against late binding. It is true that successively in an OT-way I mildly proposed non-late-binding semantics but for _all_ closures wrt to free variables apart from globals, but I got that a fraction of people still would like rebinding support for closer-over vars (something I don't miss personally) , and there are subtle issues wrt recursive references, which while solvable would make the semantics rather DWIMish , not a good thing.
