"""
A quick demo of how scope capturing works in Python.

This code works because inner functions capture a reference
to the original function's scope when they get defined, 
rather than a shallow copy of it.

It's so janky and weird, and yet it makes perfect sense. 
It's almost poetic. I love Python so much.
