Hi,

My suggestion for a vote would be:
- Vote about the feature.
- Vote about syntax if no consensus can be reached.

My suggestion would be to both have a short and long version:
- |params| => expr
- lambda(params) => expr

An example where one have two syntaxes for same feature is
the jQuery library, i.e. $() and jQuery().

I plan to read up on the RFC once more this week regarding
the feature itself. Any plans to go with this for 7.2?
