[Python-Dev] any support for a methodcaller HOF?

[Chris or Leslie Smith]

| making the implied return statment visible might also be a good idea,
| e.g. 
| 
|    lambda x, y: return x + y
| 
| or even
| 
|    def (x, y): return x + y
| 

Although I don't understand the implications of making such a change, the 2nd alternative above looks very nice. Whenever I write a lambda I feel like I am doing something non-pythonic. I think the 2nd proposal increases the readability of the lambda, something that is often touted as being part of what makes python beautiful.
