IIFEs - Inline Closures do not execute but give a compiler error
Description
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immediately-invoked_function_expression
This should work in CFML:
Where "work" means it outputs hi. This is a very contrived example, but being able to memory space blocks of code is quite handy in other languages, and that CFML has function expressions but NOT IIFEs seems a bit half-implemented.

I still can't think of a real world use case that can not be achieved in a clearer and simpler manner in CFML without this.
The only "valid" example I saw was currying, which is very interesting academically speaking, but did anyone ever need it in a real world application?
What's that link supposed to be to, ? Looks to me like a metadata change, but no actual code change?
Aha. Yeah that stuff looks more like it. Cool.
When'll it be available on the update channel?
No rush or nuthin', but will just test it out once it's available.
Cheers!!
