Not having to field about 10 new bug reports per week about leaks???
e.g. if we changed it, then in
sub gen {
my ($a,$b,$c) = ... intermediate calculations ...;
my $x = something;
return sub { $x };
}
everyone would complain about how $a,$b,$c now leak.
And that's a simple case; as things get more complex, the
interrelationships between nested closures etc would mean nothing would
ever end up getting freed, with everything tied back in a chain to the
longest-lived element.
Also in a typical Foo.pm file like
package Foo;
my ($a, $b, $c);
Sub f1 { $a };
... more lexicals ...
... more subs ....
... and so on for several 100 lines ...
The subs would probably end up capturing every lexical declared within
Foo, which would probably continue to exist until global destruction.
