Capture checking is an experimental Scala feature and one of the building blocks of the very trendy direct style programming. It’s also, not to put too fine a point on it, a little confusing.

Fortunately for everybody involved, Martin will be there to correct the most egregious mistakes and provide whatever context is needed.
