PEP 312 - Making lambdas implicit worries me, surely it's just the name 'lambda' that is bad...

As on of the PEP 312 authors, I must explain. PEP 312 is not about adding
new keywords, etc.  And I am already allergic (thanks PEP 308) to such
suggestions. The only problem with PEP 312 as I see it is that lambdas are
more useful when they have arguments. And this is hard to help without
"lambda" keyword.

Making lambda implicit is no more fuss than making implicit line-breaks.
