No I'm talking about the internal representation. For example if you  
implement objects with records :

> type o = { mutable m1 : unit -> bool; mutable m2 : unit -> int }

>   and m2 () = bla + 1 in
>   { m1 = m1; m2 = m2 }

Then I hope that the closure's environment of m1 and m2 is shared,  
that they do not each store their own mapping from bla to value.

Another question I have is below, does bla leak after a call to m1 ?

Best,
