None of the options you provided had the contours of the proposed
solution, so it's not clear that the lack of support for your
proposals commutes to lack of support for this one.
Define "contours" -- do you mean # instead of λ or ƒ, or the
(separate, I agree, but problematic) completion-value is implicit
return value idea? We've discussed both here over the years, but I
admit my two straw polls at conferences didn't cover the latter.
The JSConf audience poll did provoke someone to suggest "fun", and I
mentioned "fn" (the ML family languages have both). Two letters or
three might be few enough, and avoid the line-noise and can't-type-
Greek issues.
