Seems like the best of both worlds (except you'd probably need a
character other than '|' as the separator, for the case where you want 
non-local parameters but local variables.

   lambda { <a,b % c, d> ... }   local params and local vars

   lambda { |a,b % c, d| ... }   current params and local vars
