Was able to get it work with the lexical binding setup, which was not working
as expected.  I had no criticisms about your response.  My only difficulty
is whether you recommend using such undocumented feature (commonly people vote
against using them).  Being able to append to the documentation part a details
string is very strong programmatically.  I would like that an equivalent 
implementation be done and documented for public use.  Otherwise I would 
continue
having to delay the addition until after the function definition.

As for closures, the recommendation against examining and altering the
structure of closure objects indicates that something very wrong in going
