yep I also considered that but then realized that parameters of implicit lambdas also have its vartype set to null until the compiler infers a type for them, so the implicitly-typed set and the declared using `var` set have an intersection but are not the same, I preferred to keep the previous API for the different clients, just with a tweak in the method name, and add a new method to reflect the fact that there is a difference between being explicitly typed and being declared using `var`
