Strictly speaking it's also argument against getfenv ;-)

If there were no getfenv then we could move closures without global references out of the loop.

Ahm... I am wrong. You can't simply hoist closure creation in the presence of functions environments (different closures might actually end up having different environments). 

Yes. That's an argument against setfenv. It inhibits a useful optimization for what is probably a rarely used feature.
