It's about conciseness. The only time it makes sense to
write a function in-line is when the body is extremely
short -- but then it gets swamped by the lambda keyword
itself.

But I agree that the OP's particular solution is restricted
to a case that's too special. My version is completely
general -- it can express anything that the existing lambda
can express.
