It's not clear to me that lambdas are any more obviously a special construct than generator expressions.

If the absence of lambda is considered to make it look too straightforward, we could always introduce a new mysterious-looking keyword, and even throw in a colon for good measure...

g = (gamma: x*x for x in stuff)
