I see, that’s too bad. Anonymous functions appear to be dead as far as I can
tell. In progress since 2012 I think?
Would it be permitted to add inline declarations of nested functions as a
temporary replacement? They don’t capture state but at least they solve the
issue of polluting namespace with named functions which you use in only one
location. Better than nothing (since that’s what we’re realistically looking
at) and no new complicated features.
