I originally suggested

   anon = lambda(foo = 'bar') {...}

-or-

   anon = lambda(foo = 'bar') {|foo| ...}

...and it seems it still is the least offensive variation out
there to most people. I am not quite sure I like (Austin's?)
version from the roundtable:

   anon = lambda(foo = 'bar')
            ...
          end

I think mine was better ;) I suppose this would indicate the
'special' nature better but I prefer the dovetailing to current
syntax.
