Most languages with closures also have garbage collection, or anyway
scope-controlled deallocation like in C++.  It may not be obvious, but
closures are sort of the same thing as OOP, just viewed from a different
angle.  Storage for the internal data of OOP instances has to be managed
in about the same way.
