Closures can be powerful, but typically you wouldn't see top level functions be closures; in this example, what if you wanted two counters? You could do something like this: CL-USER 12 > (defun make-counter () (let ((count 0)) (lambda (operation) (case operation (increment (incf count)) (reset (setf...
