Not being a C hacker, but definitely uneducated I wonder if the greatest 
difference between C function pointers and first-class procedures is not the 
fact that they cannot be created at runtime because you have neither the 
compiler nor the symboltable present?
Aren't C functions closures in the sense mr Hailperin described?
