[docs] [issue30023] Example code becomes invalid for "Why do lambdas defined in a loop with different values all return the same result?"

Eric V. Smith added the comment:

That's consistent with the example: it's showing you how to create a list of functions, that when called, return squares.

"This gives you a list that contains 5 lambdas that calculate x**2"

Maybe "squares" isn't the most awesome name, but I think if you read the example in its entirety, it's all consistent and correct.
