I agree.

And secondly, even if I didn't like it, changing the name of something
because it's a slightly less confusing name to newbies is a really low
priority!

If you look back at previous discussion, the real push was to exp[and
lambda's capabilities -- maybe allow more than one expression, or ??? But
that would make it MORE confusing to newbies, not less.

I actually think it makes a strikes a pretty good balance -- to use the
idiomatic phrase :-)
