Just for future reference, I'd probably start out with such a question on the users mailing list. There are more folks subscribed to that list and writing closures and transforms (using Groovy) are topics which that list covers. If it turned out that Groovy couldn't handle your use case, the dev list (developing the language) would be the place to go to ask whether a feature could be added to the language.
Having said that, to answer your question, there are quite a lot of things that are possible. Perhaps you could give a concrete simple example of the kind of thing you are trying to do. I understand most of what you are saying but a few bits are still a little unclear (to me at least). Cheers, Paul.
