Not necessarily. I could see an implementation where i would be 4.
And how exactly does that statement help a beginner to understand the
distinction between a BlockContext and a BlockClosure? ;)
Andrey: Both are pretty much the same, there is no change in syntax.
Closures simply are Blocks Done Right.
Try to run the example Subbu mentioned, and see if you would have
expected the result or not. With closures it does what one would expect.
