Comment (by nbruin):
It may be inconvenient, but this can't work. The problem is that the top-
level `var` also injects a global variable binding and, as is correctly
reported, `lambda` isn't valid because it's a reserved keyword. The
workaround is to use a different `var`, such as `SR.var` or
`sage.calculus.var.var` (I hope those are really the same function), which
is almost equivalent to the workaround presented.
Close as "won't fix"? I don't see another option.
