Defines a functor interface implemented by classes that do something.

A Closure represents a block of code which is executed from
inside some block, function or iteration. It operates an input object.

 Standard implementations of common closures are provided by ClosureUtils. These include method invocation and for/while loops. 
Type parameters:
<T> – the type that the closure acts on
Since:
