BC-breaking changes to C-- CLOSURE syntax.
Summary: Previously, there were two variants of CLOSURE in C--: - Top-level CLOSURE(foo_closure, foo, lits...), which defines a new static closure and gives it a name, and - Array CLOSURE(foo, lits...), which was used for the static char and integer arrays. They used the same name, were confusing, and didn't even generate the correct internal label representation! So now, we have two new forms: - Top-level CLOSURE(foo, lits...) which automatically generates foo_closure (along with foo_info, which we were doing already) - Array ANONYMOUS_CLOSURE(foo, lits...) which doesn't generate a foo_closure identifier.
