  The basic approach is that captured vars need to be put on the heap and
  that the calling chain needs to be explicitly modelled. Things to consider:

  proc a =
    var v = 0
    proc b =
      var w = 2

      for x in 0..3:
        proc c = capture v, w, x
        c()
    b()

    for x in 0..4:
      proc d = capture x
      d()

  Needs to be translated into:

  proc a =
    var cl: *
    new cl
    cl.v = 0

    proc b(cl) =
      var bcl: *
      new bcl
      bcl.w = 2
      bcl.up = cl

      for x in 0..3:
        var bcl2: *
        new bcl2
        bcl2.up = bcl
        bcl2.up2 = cl
        bcl2.x = x

        proc c(cl) = capture cl.up2.v, cl.up.w, cl.x
        c(bcl2)

      c(bcl)

    b(cl)

    for x in 0..4:
      var acl2: *
      new acl2
      acl2.x = x
      proc d(cl) = capture cl.x
      d(acl2)

  Closures as interfaces:

  proc outer: T =
    var captureMe: TObject # value type required for efficiency
    proc getter(): int = result = captureMe.x
    proc setter(x: int) = captureMe.x = x

    result = (getter, setter)

  Is translated to:

  proc outer: T =
    var cl: *
    new cl

    proc getter(cl): int = result = cl.captureMe.x
    proc setter(cl: *, x: int) = cl.captureMe.x = x

    result = ((cl, getter), (cl, setter))


  For 'byref' capture, the outer proc needs to access the captured var through
  the indirection too. For 'bycopy' capture, the outer proc accesses the var
  not through the indirection.

  Possible optimizations:

  1) If the closure contains a single 'ref' and this
  reference is not re-assigned (check ``sfAddrTaken`` flag) make this the
  closure. This is an important optimization if closures are used as
  interfaces.
  2) If the closure does not escape, put it onto the stack, not on the heap.
  3) Dataflow analysis would help to eliminate the 'up' indirections.
  4) If the captured var is not actually used in the outer proc (common?),
  put it into an inner proc.

"""

# Important things to keep in mind:
# * Don't base the analysis on nkProcDef et al. This doesn't work for
#   instantiated (formerly generic) procs. The analysis has to look at nkSym.
#   This also means we need to prevent the same proc is processed multiple
#   times via the 'processed' set.
# * Keep in mind that the owner of some temporaries used to be unreliable.
# * For closure iterators we merge the "real" potential closure with the
#   local storage requirements for efficiency. This means closure iterators
#   have slightly different semantics from ordinary closures.

There are a couple of possibilities of how to implement closure
iterators that capture outer variables in a traditional sense
(aka closure closure iterators).

1. Transform iter() to  iter(state, capturedEnv). So use 2 hidden
   parameters.
2. Add the captured vars directly to 'state'.
3. Make capturedEnv an up-reference of 'state'.

We do (3) here because (2) is obviously wrong and (1) is wrong too.
Consider:

  proc outer =
    var xx = 9
