The sub{} wrapper will seldom be much more typing than providing args
any another way, so I don't find it very inconvenient either.
The Tk-style for providing callback args actually do save a little bit
of typing:
find([\&foo, $bar], @files);
find(sub { foo($bar) }, @files);

Have anybody ever done a survey of which Perl callback APIs provide
args to be passed back and which do not? I certainly tend to not
provide a way to pass args that as closures gives enough hooks as it
is.
