So require parens around the arglist: (x*y given (x, y)) Skip I would not be opposed to mandating the parens, and its an easy enough change to make. The patch on SF lets you do it both ways, which will give people who are interested a chance to get a feel for the various alternatives.

I realize of course that this is a moot point. But perhaps I can help to winnow down the dozens of rejected lambda replacement proposals to just a few rejected lamda proposals :)
