This was my first proposal, and was changed my second, but this syntax is
inspired by C#, where a lambda expression is of one of the following forms:
(Type1 param1, …) => foo // single-statement expression
(Type1 param1, …) => { …; return foo; } // multi-statement expression
Haskell also uses syntax closer to this than to Swift, not to mention ML/F#.
