 This is often used to ensure that the closure's type is `'static`.
 
 The compiler will determine which of the [closure traits](../types/closure.md#call-traits-and-coercions) the closure's type will implement by how it acts on its captured variables.
-The closure will also implement [`Send`](../special-types-and-traits.md#send) and/or [`Sync`](../special-types-and-traits.md#sync) if all of its captured types do.
-These traits allow functions to accept closures using generics, even though the exact types can't be named.

 In this example, we define a function `ten_times` that takes a higher-order function argument, and we then call it with a closure expression as an argument, followed by a closure expression that moves values from its environment.
