Re: => Lambda shorthand syntax

Stephen,

Until this operator is ready you can use a macro to get close to the syntax
you want.

#define f(x, y ...) lambda(y) { return x; }

int main() {
   function y = f(x * y, int x, int y);
   write((string)y(5,2));
}

This was more for fun than practical use, but it demonstrates that the
operator should be fairly easy to achieve.

Best Regards,
  Ralph Ritoch
