Apply closure as a class method
Suppose there is a function def f = { x -> x + 4 }.
Is there a way to call it somehow like 7.f() and get 11?

Yes, you can add that function as a method to the Integer class, but, instead of using the x variable, you are better using the delegate of the closure:
Integer.metaClass.f = { delegate + 4 }
assert 7.f() == 11
