If you are at the point where you need mutually recursive closures, 
perhaps you should just use named functions / an anonymous class. I 
don't find it useful to “optimize DX” for that case, since 
self-recursive Closures are already somewhat questionable / rarely used 
(though I think I've used that myself a handful of times in the past).
