Specification
=============
Allow keyword arguments in function call to take this form:
NAME ( ARGUMENTS ) = EXPRESSION
which is equivallent to the following:
NAME = lambda ARGUMENTS: EXPRESSION
except that NAME is also assigned as the function's `__name__`.
My first instinct on seeing the example was that "key(n)" was a function
*call*, not a function definition, and to remember the thread a month or
two ago about assigning to the result of a function call. I'm inclined to
think this would add confusion rather than remove it.
