Please don't add multiline lambdas to Python.
Multiline lambdas give rise (in a big way) to the
computer-language-equivalent of run-on sentences.
If anything, I'd suggest removing single-line lambdas. List
comprehensions and generator expressions render single-line lambdas
almost entirely redundant; they're too TMTOWTDI.
