The purpose of this program was to show that there is a general way to access all of the private variables in a closure in a safe way, without having to provide accessors for each variable. Yes, in most cases it would be *much* better to expose the variables via accessors, but my point was to show that there is another way. I wasn't saying we should use that way, just that it's possible, as a curiosity.
