This is because Vim does not support a closure yet. You are using this lambda: {x -> x(y)(10)} You can see that "y" is not defined here. It would come from the context, but that isn't supported. > Anyway, 7.4.2044 is surely a great advance in the history of Vim > script. Thanks. Glad you like it. -- Luxury.
