In practise, I expect the requirement for "final" on the local

isn't very useful in typical Java programming (to the point that I've
never used it aside from as proof-of-concept).

If closures could support abstraction like the for loop, early exits should be common. Think how you would normally implement a 'find first'.

OTOH, if closures are supposed to abstract control flow away, then the early exits should be moved to the 'algorithm method' and not in the closure.
