Let me rephrase it, then. It looks like this thunk
proposal allows:

  def func(args):
      code

to be rewritten along the lines of:

  func = function_def lambda args:
      code

but doesn't account for the functionality for which
"def () []" is being suggested. Can we generalize it
to account for both forms of def?
