As Neal mentioned just now that isn't maybe 100% accurate for a language expert, but I, and I think must developers, will see the body of the lambda as a method body and expect the return from it to just leave that body. Hence a simple "return" will do what's expected and yield would just confuse.

But, depending to some extent on syntax choice, it doesn't look like a
method body. The current 'method' cues are missing.
