  Now, what does this limitation remind me of?

The equivalent limitation in Python is nowhere near as bad,
since if you outgrow what lambda can do you can always
use a def instead. BASIC didn't have that option (unless
you were using one of the more advanced dialects, such
as BBC BASIC, which had a PROC statement).
