C++11 has anonymous functions but they're not Scheme-like closures from
what I can tell.  Closures seem much less useful without garbage
collection.  Their point is that any variables that are bound in the
surrounding context but free in the nested function, have their values
copied into the closure when the closure is created, and the closure
(with those values) stays around after the surrounding function has
returned.  Languages without first-class functions usually do this sort
of thing with OOP or similar.
