I thought this might be the answer. It's clearly too much to ask of
all lambda-coders and would-be lambda-coders in the world.
My two cents, perhaps I'm wrong and the Schemers and others will
switch their kbd configs. Or the code generators will rise and
exterminate lambda-coding humans. But I doubt it.

you can add a greek keyboard to your input methods,
and set up a kb shortcut to switch easily.
like, for mac osx:
system preferences, international, input menu.
enable greek keyboard.
enable "show input menu in menu bar".
click on "keyboard shortcuts".
in "input menu", enable "select the next input source",
assign it a shortcut that doesn't conflict with anything you use,
like maybe option-space.
then, to type lambda,
type option-space until you're at the greek flag,
then type lowercase-L (on u.s. qwerty),
windows is pretty similar to osx, it's in "regional and language
options"
I think modern linux is also similar, but I'm not near one at the
moment.
