Technically a "subroutine" is a reusable quantity.  To be able to be called by
*any* function, explicit argument passing is necessary. The idea behind
quotations is that being 'local', you can dispense with some of the requirements
of subroutines.  If your parent has locals and your 'subroutine' is local, it stands
to reason you should *not* have to go to the trouble and expense of explicitly
passing arguments between them via the stack.  There seems to be this notion
quotations are just nameless subroutines.  They don't have the capabilities of
subroutines and never will.
