better lambda support in the future?

[Michael DeHaan]

True enough, but suppose you want a hash of anonymous functions as
opposed to just a lexical?   This is where lambas are nice to have.  
Totally agreed about a small use here and there, but they do have some
use in dispatch tables, as they are a lot easier to read sometimes
than very long case statements.    Of course, this would require
multi-line lambdas to exist...
