Review comment:
       I agree that closures are a bit complex in Rust 😅... But I don't think 
that the usage we have for it here is particularly convoluted. 
   
   The problem here is that different readers take different configurations (in 
particular CSV, with configurations such as `delimiter`). Thus you need a way 
to have this variable set of configurations in the context when you initialize 
the reader. You could achieve this with a trait. In fact, the closure here 
allows us to create an anonymous version of a trait that would look like:
   ```Rust
   pub trait ReaderOpener {
     pub fn open_reader(&mut self, file: Box<dyn Read+Send+Sync> remaining: 
&Option<usize>) -> BatchIter;
   }
   ```
   
   Using the trait instead of a closure would require us to create an implem of 
that trait for each format (AvroReaderOpener, JsonReaderOpener...). These 
structs would contain all the configurations that are required for the reader 
initialization as fields. Here, instead of doing this explicit declaration, the 
closures capture the configurations they need. Under the hood, the closure is 
doing **exactly** the same thing as we would have done if we chose to declare 
the implementions of `ReaderOpener`, except that `ReaderOpener` is replaced by 
`FnMut(Box<dyn Read + Send + Sync>, &Option<usize>) -> BatchIter` and the 
implementation types are created by the compiler.
   
   Now, if you prefer the trait version, I don't mind changing the 
implementation for it. But as always, what you'll gain in terms of explicitness 
you will loose in terms of over-verbosity (a bit like declaring variables 
with/without types 😉).
