Not really.

This is the real problem. The code that you show contains two separable 
pieces:
- The first block is reponsible for scanning the closure data and 
storing it in local variables for later use.
- The second block grabs the &rest arguments forming a list, which is 
used later on.
- The variable "i" is a counter which is used when parsing &optional 
arguments.
It seems that, instead of being in a block itself, the closure scanning 
phase should surround with braces all code that comes afterwards.
I'll look into that.
