>The critical idea here is it applies to long-running functions, like a loop, a server, or other things. These, when handed function objects, will not reflect new behavior if you re-evaluate a single function.
Do you mind going into more details about what you mean here? In my experience, recursive loops will pick up a new function definition but non-recursive loops will only pick up the definition of a function upon entry.
