A _closure expression_ defines a closure and denotes it as a value, in a single
expression. A closure expression is a pipe-symbol-delimited (`|`) list of
irrefutable [patterns] followed by an expression. Type annotations may optionally be added
for the type of the parameters or for the return type. If there is a return
type, the expression used for the body of the closure must be a normal
[block]. A closure expression also may begin with the
`move` keyword before the initial `|`.
