I'm open to this, but am interested in what others have to say, especially as it relates to other lambda features coming in. Bear in mind that this is at least the third major round of reviews for these changes, the first round being a year ago on lambda-dev, when I first submitted them, and then they were distilled some more and greatly simplified by Henry Jen.

Thanks, Jim
