It might also be worth looking at the docs for 'lambda:', since I can't see any
way of adding keywords to an anonymous function. I tried:
(define t
(λ: ((i : Integer)
(#:inc (increment : Integer 1)))
(+ i 1)))
...plus a couple of likely-looking variants like
(define t
(local
(define: (t* (i : Integer)) : Integer
(+ i 1))
(t* 9)))
But without success (in 5.3.3).
To avoid cluttering up the lambda: form, might it be worth (instead?) making it
possible to associate a function type form with an anonymous lambda? Something
like:
(lambda (i #inc (increment 1)) :: (Integer #inc Integer -> Integer)
(+ i increment))
That looks more readable to me than the multiple nesting of the current lambda:
form.
All the best,
Norman
