A closure and a function are the same thing because the Closure class comes from a need to have consistent functions regardless of scope. And an anonymous object still behaves like a normal object, you can extend it, add methods to it, use traits. On the contrary having two different meaning for a fundamental construct is just weird, and if that goes to vote I'll vote against it. Moreover, no need to repeat mistakes other languages have made.
