I didn't explain that well enough; I meant that it automatically promotes
the
closure to be 'static' in that it uses late static binding.

This is actually the same issue as the one above. Basically the closures
aren't respecting late static binding and I am pretty sure it was just an
oversight, not a conscious decision.
