The 'subtle sematic' had nothing to do with lambda but with Python
functions.
The above is exactly equivalent (except the different .funcname) to
a = []
for i in range(10):
def f(): return i
a.append(f)
del f
That should be equally confusing (or not), and equally requires the 'i=i'
trick (or not).
As is, either function definitiion is a constant and the loop makes useless
duplicates. Either form would have the same effect is hoisted out of the
loop.
