If a closure needs to be Sync, we should perhaps suggest that it be made a move closure.
Perhaps we should verify that the closure can be made move (i.e. it is : 'static when made move), but I'm not sure how easy that is to do.
We already suggest move closures when you do the same thing with a Vec, because the error reaches borrowck. Typeck sync issues don't suggest move.
