C#3.0 and lambdas

On Slashdot there is a discussion about the future C#3.0:

There are many differences, but it looks a bit more like Python:

I like the lambda sintax enough. If there is a single parameter the
parentheses may be omitted. They are required if there aren't
parameters. The statement body allows the lambda to do anything.

x => x + 1                 Expression body
x => { return x + 1; }     Statement body
(x, y) => x * y            Multiple parameters
() => Console.WriteLine()  No parameters

The syntax seems nice, but for python the "Statement body" syntax can
be a problem.
