True enough, but suppose you want a hash of anonymous functions as opposed to just a lexical? This is where lambas are nice to have. Totally agreed about a small use here and there, but they do have some use in dispatch tables, as they are a lot easier to read sometimes than very long case statements. Of course, this would require multi-line lambdas to exist...
