SPUG:Resetting a closure's memory

[Jay Gray]

Sanford,

Another trick you could try is to 'eval' the closure each time. When you
want to reset the variables, you could re-run the eval. Depending on what
you are intending for the subroutine, you could chose either method
over the other for re-initializing the subroutine's vars.
