Chris also suggested me this. And frankly, I don't see why I shouldn't
follow that advise. It's good advice.

However, lambda functions do read well in my mind and I find it hard
to spot where they obscure the code more than a function. So the
explicit vs. implicit part of the argument doesn't translate well with
me. I however agree that a function declaration brings other benefits,
like the ability to decorate or document.

I will reserve the use of lambdas to only where they are necessary.
Thanks.
