A while back I created and proposed a patch that would change the syntax
of lambda to be more like a generator expression. So instead of writing:
lambda x: x * x
you would write:
(x * x given x)
So for example:
>>> (x * x given x)(2)
4
However, the patch and the general concept were rejected. For myself, I
thought the idea was cute, but not a huge improvement, and I'm not
willing to spend any serious effort lobbying for it.
