Boy, I'm really at it: I forgot the upvalues as well as the return. Then
again, it's way past midnight here in the lowlands. So people should
probably bear with me... [;-)]

Anyways, my proposal for Lua 4 should have read:

function closure(func, ...)
    return function() return call(%func, %arg) end
end
