Hi,

I have a function that returns a pure function:

In[1]:= getFunc := Module[{a=2}, Function[{x}, a * x]]

In[2]:= f = getFunc

Out[2]= Function[{x$}, a$57 x$]


Is there any way, to have the body of the returned function contain the actual _value_ of the local variable a, instead of the _symbol_ ?

So I would like the returned function to be written as

	Function[{x$}, 2 x$]

The reason is, that I would like to have a quick way to actually see the value instead of digging out the local variable a$57...

Thanks,

Stephan
