| Summary | FUNCT equivalent for closure!s |
|---|---|
| Description |
Would be nice to have equivalent mezzanine to FUNCT but for making closure!s as well. It could be either just a /closure refinement for FUNCT or completely new mezz. What do you think? |

Since the need was urgent, we decided (for the purpose of R3GUI) to use FUNCT/CLOSURE. (It is not at many places at present) |

I suggest that going with the spirit of CC#1973, two pairs be made:
CLOSURE and FUNCTION CLOS and FUNC Like "func", the made-up word "clos" could indicate a more fundamental building block of the nicer-named variations, which do not give the appearance of "everything in Rebol is global by default". |

As simple as the /closure option is to add, I agree with Fork here. We should go with #1973 on this. And noone is going to port the Common Lisp Object System to Rebol, so we won't have a naming conflict. |

Well, I do not intend to discuss the CLOS and CLOSURE naming issues here.
In my opinion, renaming may be controversial and subject to Carl's decision (CLOSURE naming change would most probably create more compatibility issues than FUNCTION naming change). So, please, resolve that as a separate ticket/issue allowing: * Carl to decide whether to accept it * Cyphre and me to work on R3GUI now |

Agreed that the naming issue should be a separate ticket (#2002), though in this case it would be an opposing ticket to this one. Compatibility issues won't be a problem - see #2002 for details. |

Added a pull request for #1973 and #2002, Ladislav. Cyphre and you can use it in R3GUI instead of this one. |
