pub functions: should be explicit

module functions: if I chose, I'd let them be derived, but I'm relatively indifferent

inner functions: should be allowed to be derived, IMO. They're very infrequently used so this choice doesn't have much impact.

You can use closures as functions with type inferred signatures

Closures capture variables so have significant differences compared to inner functions. Capture can affect lifetimes so the difference is significant in Rust.

Closures don't have to capture variables. If they don't then they're equivalent to functions.
