In deciding on semantics, we would all rather trade away some power in exchange for greater clarity about what the expression will do without having to run it. Put another way, human interpretability is more important than supporting weird usages. With that criteria, early-binding is looking to be least nuanced approach.

(If I could say my opinion on this,) I agree that human interpretability is more important than supporting weird -or seldomly used- usages, and that early-binding(but without any precomputation) is clearest approach. Furthermore, I think closures should capture variables, too, but it seems that's too much change for now :)

Regards, jiwon.
