ValueRepresentation
public class SingletonClosure extends Closure
The expression may depend on local variables and on the context item; these values are held in the saved XPathContext object that is kept as part of the Closure, and they will always be read from that object. The expression may also depend on global variables; these are unchanging, so they can be read from the Bindery in the normal way. Expressions that depend on other contextual information, for example the values of position(), last(), current(), current-group(), should not be evaluated using this mechanism: they should always be evaluated eagerly. This means that the Closure does not need to keep a copy of these context variables.
