//  Adaptable closures
//
//      The framework will not be complete without some form of closures
//      support. Closures encapsulate a stack frame where local
//      variables are created upon entering a function and destructed
//      upon exiting. Closures provide an environment for local
//      variables to reside. Closures can hold heterogeneous types.
//
//      Phoenix closures are true hardware stack based closures. At the
//      very least, closures enable true reentrancy in lambda functions.
//      A closure provides access to a function stack frame where local
//      variables reside. Modeled after Pascal nested stack frames,
//      closures can be nested just like nested functions where code in
//      inner closures may access local variables from in-scope outer
//      closures (accessing inner scopes from outer scopes is an error
//      and will cause a run-time assertion failure).
//
//      There are three (3) interacting classes:
//
//      1) closure:
//
//      At the point of declaration, a closure does not yet create a
//      stack frame nor instantiate any variables. A closure declaration
//      declares the types and names[note] of the local variables. The
//      closure class is meant to be subclassed. It is the
//      responsibility of a closure subclass to supply the names for
//      each of the local variable in the closure. Example:
//
//          struct my_closure : closure<int, string, double> {
//
//              member1 num;        // names the 1st (int) local variable
//              member2 message;    // names the 2nd (string) local variable
//              member3 real;       // names the 3rd (double) local variable
//          };
//
//          my_closure clos;
//
//      Now that we have a closure 'clos', its local variables can be
//      accessed lazily using the dot notation. Each qualified local
//      variable can be used just like any primitive actor (see
//      primitives.hpp). Examples:
//
//          clos.num = 30
//          clos.message = arg1
//          clos.real = clos.num * 1e6
//
//      The examples above are lazily evaluated. As usual, these
//      expressions return composite actors that will be evaluated
//      through a second function call invocation (see operators.hpp).
//      Each of the members (clos.xxx) is an actor. As such, applying
//      the operator() will reveal its identity:
//
//          clos.num() // will return the current value of clos.num
//
//      *** [note] Acknowledgement: Juan Carlos Arevalo-Baeza (JCAB)
//      introduced and initilally implemented the closure member names
//      that uses the dot notation.
//
//      2) closure_member
//
//      The named local variables of closure 'clos' above are actually
//      closure members. The closure_member class is an actor and
//      conforms to its conceptual interface. member1..memberN are
//      predefined typedefs that correspond to each of the listed types
//      in the closure template parameters.
//
//      3) closure_frame
//
//      When a closure member is finally evaluated, it should refer to
//      an actual instance of the variable in the hardware stack.
//      Without doing so, the process is not complete and the evaluated
//      member will result to an assertion failure. Remember that the
//      closure is just a declaration. The local variables that a
//      closure refers to must still be instantiated.
//
//      The closure_frame class does the actual instantiation of the
//      local variables and links these variables with the closure and
//      all its members. There can be multiple instances of
//      closure_frames typically situated in the stack inside a
//      function. Each closure_frame instance initiates a stack frame
//      with a new set of closure local variables. Example:
//
//          void foo()
//          {
//              closure_frame<my_closure> frame(clos);
//              /* do something */
//          }
//
//      where 'clos' is an instance of our closure 'my_closure' above.
//      Take note that the usage above precludes locally declared
//      classes. If my_closure is a locally declared type, we can still
//      use its self_type as a paramater to closure_frame:
//
//          closure_frame<my_closure::self_type> frame(clos);
//
//      Upon instantiation, the closure_frame links the local variables
//      to the closure. The previous link to another closure_frame
//      instance created before is saved. Upon destruction, the
//      closure_frame unlinks itself from the closure and relinks the
//      preceding closure_frame prior to this instance.
//
//      The local variables in the closure 'clos' above is default
//      constructed in the stack inside function 'foo'. Once 'foo' is
//      exited, all of these local variables are destructed. In some
//      cases, default construction is not desirable and we need to
//      initialize the local closure variables with some values. This
//      can be done by passing in the initializers in a compatible
//      tuple. A compatible tuple is one with the same number of
//      elements as the destination and where each element from the
//      destination can be constructed from each corresponding element
//      in the source. Example:
//
//          tuple<int, char const*, int> init(123, "Hello", 1000);
//          closure_frame<my_closure> frame(clos, init);
//
//      Here now, our closure_frame's variables are initialized with
//      int: 123, char const*: "Hello" and int: 1000.
