From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   name capture
  
      In {beta reduction}, when a term containing a
      {free} occurrence of a variable v is substituted into another
      term where v is bound the free v becomes spuriously bound or
      "captured".   E.g.
  
      (\ x . \ y . x y) y   -->   \ y . y y (WRONG)
  
      This problem arises because two distinct variables have the
      same name.   The most common solution is to rename the bound
      variable using {alpha conversion}:
  
      (\ x . \ y' . x y') y --> \ y' . y y'
  
      Another solution is to use {de Bruijn notation}.
  
      Note that the argument expression, y, contained a {free
      variable}.   The whole expression above must therefore be
      notionally contained within the body of some {lambda
      abstraction} which binds y.   If we never reduce inside the
      body of a lambda abstraction (as in reduction to {weak head
      normal form}) then name capture cannot occur.

      might be ignored, although that is unlikely), an NMI is
      *never* ignored.
