This will be my last comment in this thread :)

Your flaw is that Pheonix ~ (C++11 lambda + more), as Phoenix has significant disadvantages compared to C++11 lambda (that have been discussed at length), as well as significant advantages (as you say).

Therefore Phoenix is incomparable with C++11 lambda, so Phoenix is comparable with Local.
