Something like this?

	view.target = target
	view.action = { (target) in beep() }

Not bad, but wouldn't that be somewhat fragile? Given you must make sure the target is retained, I'm not sure it really make things simpler. And you need to make sure it's not nil either: this just won't work:

	view.action = { beep() }

It looks like an error-prone idiom to me.
