But the two strawmans conflate ideas unnecessarily. Someone out there
may want thin arrow lambdas without paren free calling. If they do
then how do they choose between the {||} lambda paren free verses the
arrow function strawmans. They cannot.
There are several issues that can be dealt with separately.
1) Should new syntax be introduced for functions?
2) Should lambdas be introduced? If so what would there syntax be?
3) Should paren free calls be introduced?
