Actually, I think it would be more pythonic if the indication of
non-evaluation happened at the function invocation instead of the
function definition. Having it at the function definition makes it
implicit at the function invocation point.  Having functions that
expect objects of certain types (closures in this case, right?) is
pretty much standard operating procedure.
