I was not aware of this document when I wrote :

Reading my post again, it's indeed not clear at all that I was
referring more to the syntax than block lamdas's principles and that
this should behave as block lambdas, I got this answer :
https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/es-discuss/2012-March/021055.html
Then I thought that the "do" proposals were definitely over, but
it's not the case and I have too a preference for it.
So, taking my examples 1 and 3 (what is the baseValue property in
your document ? Similar to my GetBase ??), how could we do that ? (or
please someone, just crash the idea once for all so I don't think about
it any longer)
The "fn" carrot for strict mode looks to be a good idea.

1. Short notation for non-TCP functions: use fn; enables one to abbreviate "function" as
"fn" [1]. Optional, not sure if that’s a good idea: Implicit return of completion value
and lexical `this`.
For example:
use fn;
arr.map(fn (x) { x * x });
2. Block lambdas for TCP-adhering callable blocks with lexical `this`, which
previously seemed like the main contender. As a TCP-adhering syntactic
alternative to block lambdas, Allen mentioned the following on Twitter:
do (args) { ... }
Open question: fn and function behaving differently seems like a bad idea,
because then things are less consistent. But then you have to wonder if fn is
really worth the trouble for only saving 6 characters.
