Updated State of the Lambda

[Peter Levart]

This is good news. In particular the 1st notable change below. This is a move in the right direction. I wonder if the reason for the cahnge was a result of desire to keep the door open for possible future extension to support "transparent" lambda or just of realization that lexical scoping has a better solution:problem ratio than annonymous inner classes style of scoping? In either case I think we are getting better lambda this way.
I can also understand that the benefit of "yield" was not worth the additional confusion it might cause, although replacing it for "return" it is a step away from transparent lambda.

Regards, Peter
