Furthermore, I think closures should capture variables, too, but it seems that's too much change for now :)

That's not an option, because it would break mutually recursive functions.

With regard to generator expressions, isn't Guido leaning back towards not having any variable capture? Or is he un-leaning-back again? This is all getting very confusing...
