    public interface Closure
    Defines a functor interface implemented by classes that do something.

    A Closure represents a block of code which is executed from inside some block, function or iteration. It operates an input object.

    Standard implementations of common closures are provided by ClosureUtils. These include method invokation and for/while loops.
