It's quite annoying at the beginning that the errors you get make you believe that 'closure' is a type in itself, because the errors themselves quote the word as if it was some kind of type, but then you can't specify something like let f: closure = ....

Do you have a different recommendation for how to display unnameable types in error messages? I'm sure the compiler team would consider any suggestions.
