Here's the axe. I have reconsidered {||...} block syntax again this week, but I still couldn't accept the confusion caused by block without any prefix. By the Eric's (other) patch, which is likely to be merged, plain old lambda could accept optional parameters, so that -> haters can use lambda's without loosing any ability. In addition, I don't think I am going to remove -> from 1.9. matz.
