Partially ordered unique closures

On a call with other Rust developers, I realized that I was thinking about unique closures all wrong. I had in mind a total ordering:

fn[send] <: fn <: block

but of course this is not necessary. What is desirable is a partial ordering:

fn[send] <: block
fn <: block

just as ~ and @ pointers can both be aliased using a reference. Ironically, this is precisely what I proposed in my list of possible solutions, but I did so using region terminology. Embarrassingly obvious, in retrospect, particularly as that was Graydon’s original design I believe. I think I got confused by the total ordering of kinds into thinking that this should translate to a total ordering of functions that close over data in those kinds. Anyhow, I will now work on implementing unique closures in this partially ordered way, and hopefully things will go more smoothly!
