FWIW, I'm current +0 on the idea (based on Yury's reasoning here about
updating already wrapped functions), but it's going to be a while
before I can dig into the code and see if there are any *good* reasons
we protect __closure__ (rather than that protection merely being an
implementation artifact). I can't recall any off the top of my head,
but that part of the code is complex enough that I don't completely
trust my memory on that point.

Cheers,
Nick.
