 Replying to [comment:8 nacin]:

 Yeah, totally agree they have certain applications, though I personally
 think they are slightly more useful that you say above. IMO the best time
 to use them is something like:

 {{{
 add_action( 'init', function() {
     register_post_type( ... );
 } );
 }}}

 So  many plugins do the above with `add_action( 'init', 'my_plugin_init'
 );` that doesn't make sense to be a function. It's not reusable, it's not
 meant to be added / remove by third parties, so probably shouldn't be
 added as a top level function. Without closures you end up loads of once-
 use weirdly named internal functions for callbacks, making it much more
 difficult to have the codebase coherent.

 For distributed code, totally get the `remove_action` problem, but 95% of
 the code I write is for internal implementations.
