I don't think I've seen that one before, and FWIW it's kind of cute.

But what's wrong with leaving lambdas the way they are?  Anyone who can
understand generator expressions can understand lambda.  I don't see any
point in trying to improve on lambda, without actually fixing its main
problem, which is the inability to create multi-statement closures.
