Closures begin with the argument list between vertical bars and are followed by
a single expression. The types of the arguments are generally omitted,
as is the return type, because the compiler can almost always infer
them. In the rare case where the compiler needs assistance, though, the
arguments and return types may be annotated.
a single expression. Remember that a block, `{ <expr1>; <expr2>; ... }`, is
considered a single expression: it evaluates to the result of the last
expression it contains if that expression is not followed by a semicolon,
otherwise the block evaluates to `()`.
