lambda syntax tutorial

[Neal Gafter]

Mautizio-

Careful with the syntax.  The source fragment

A<B | C>D

could be either an expression or a variable declaration.  I imagine that the
parser now requires lookahead in code that could previously have been parsed
in one pass.  This is likely to be inconvenient as the language is further
extended.

Cheers,
Neal
