	// leading into the current function. Each time x is mentioned in a new closure,
	// we create a variable representing x for use in that specific closure,
	// since the way you get to x is different in each closure.
	//
	// Let's number the specific variables as shown in the code:
	// x1 is the original x, x2 is when mentioned in the closure,
	// and x3 is when mentioned in the closure in the closure.
	//
	// We keep these linked (assume N > 1):
	//
	//   - x1.Defn = original declaration statement for x (like most variables)
	//   - x1.Innermost = current innermost closure x (in this case x3), or nil for none

	// When we look up x in the symbol table, we always get x1.
	// Then we can use x1.Innermost (if not nil) to get the x
	// for the innermost known closure function,
	// but the first reference in a closure will find either no x1.Innermost
	// or an x1.Innermost with .Funcdepth < Funcdepth.
	// In that case, a new xN must be created, linked in with:
	//
	//     xN.Defn = x1
	//     xN.Outer = x1.Innermost
	//     x1.Innermost = xN
	//
	// When we finish the function, we'll process its closure variables
	// and find xN and pop it off the list using:
	//
	//     x1 := xN.Defn
	//     x1.Innermost = xN.Outer
	//
	// We leave xN.Innermost set so that we can still get to the original
	// variable quickly. Not shown here, but once we're
	// done parsing a function and no longer need xN.Outer for the
	// lexical x reference links as described above, closurebody
	// recomputes xN.Outer as the semantic x reference link tree,
	// even filling in x in intermediate closures that might not
	// have mentioned it along the way to inner closures that did.
	// See closurebody for details.
	//
	// During the eventual compilation, then, for closure variables we have:
	//
	//     xN.Defn = original variable
	//     xN.Outer = variable captured in next outward scope
	//                to make closure where xN appears
