I'm very lost, now. As best I can remember and/or reconstruct
this conversation, the form above is adequately readable and
does not involve lambda (and fits in eighty-column lines, and
has a few even more mundane features). There's a realm within
Pythonia that favors lambdalessness.
I think that's all I'm claiming at this point.
