Fully agree with you and there better be a warning.

Closure was meant to be a feature, so that people can use it when they need it (and they KNOW that they are using it). But so often people just get trapped without knowing that there is a closure in their code, and it becomes very tricky to application programmers.

A warning in this case will be very helpful.

    dave_the_m has been working on the closure code so its quite possible this warns in blead. I know he has made improvements in that area.
