While I would be dissappointed to lose lambda, I think losing
Python would hurt me a lot more! After all we aren't losing
functionality here, just adding sonme extra work and losing some
readability. Pythonic lambdas are just syntactic sugar in
practice, they just make the code look more like true 
functional code.
