Re: [boost] Boost.Local Review - comments by Andrzej
Just one more thought. I was not participating in the design discussion for Boost.Local when it was probably a better time to mention this. So I am just mentioning it for reference. Functions that take parameters and bind existing objects are called closures: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closure_%28computer_science%29.<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closure_%28computer_science%29> This could have been an alternative name for BOOST_LOCAL_FUNCTION: BOOST_SCOPE_CLOSURE...

Good point. I'll ask this question as part of the naming discussion in the other email thread. --Lorenzo
