The use of "as" is based on an idea of mine. C# for example has "=>" and
Oxygene has "->" which I didn't consider much Pascal like. Also the compiler
needs to know the type of the lambda so it can correctly typecheck its code
(after all we have no type inference (yet :P )). So "lambda PROCVARTYPE as
EXPR/STMT" came as the most "natural" and Pascal like variant.
Alternatively, we can consider to use "is" -- it even has precedent in Ada:

Would indeed be a nice idea as well :)
