It's important to remember that many/most people come here as the result of following a hyperlink with the goal only of understanding another article. They will never read beyond the first sentence, paragraph or the lead section. In that context, ''hit-wise'', the intro is the most valuable part of the article.

== Clarify Part of Speech ==
 
I came to this article because I have read statements like, "Language X has Closures," and "The Closure of function f is...," and "By line x, closure has occurred." Is Closure a noun or a verb? This article didn't clear it up at all, obviously, both, but then the first line of the abstract, treating it as a noun, keeps other parts of the abstract unclear. Someone knowledgeable should clarify this, and all editors should keep this in mind. (This is in no way a problem limited to this article alone.)
