Oh, sorry, I didn't mean you.  I meant the "lambda lovers have
childhood traumas" guy.  If he cannot defend his position with-
out stuff like that, it must be a pretty worthless position.

If you like lambdas, use them.  All the best pythoneers do, so why
shouldn't you?

And as you noted, they're great when you need something simple,
and don't want to break the flow.  And when you find that you have
to refactor, it's not that hard to turn that comment into a def line,
add a newline and type "return".

(Premature refactoring is the root of all evil, etc. ;-)
