You are right, Alan, in my view.
	any_lambda_func.__name__ == "<anonymous>"
would be a better choice. (And in that case, shortcut imprecise human language 
--which is just natural and to be expected-- could not end up saying things that 
a lambda's name is lambda [or things that can be interpreted that way when not 
fully attentive, which is also natural and to be expected].)
