Mmm, I don't quite understand what you said. lambda creates functions that
aren't different than functions created by def: apart from the name,
they're really the same thing.

And if you imply that *where* you call a function does matter, it does
not. A function carries its own local namespace, its own closure, and its
global namespace. At call time, no additional "binding" is done (except
parameters -> arguments).

(and the address space is always the one of the running process)
