The primary target of this RFC is people writing 2-4 line closures that import 1-2 variables
The first half of that sentence I was expecting - although as I've already said, I think the chosen syntax suggests strongly that the RFC is really targeting *all* closures, not any subset of them. The second half makes much less sense. If you are only importing 1 or 2 variables, is writing their names really that big a burden? Several of the conversations I've had on this in the past have been very explicitly about the burden of large numbers of captures; if that's really as rare as you suggest, it makes me wonder why we're even bothering.
