Updated State of the Lambda

[Stephen Colebourne]

I am a strong supporter of the semantics of this latest draft (partly
because its very close to FCM). I especially like the neat DA/DU rule
change.

I still have views on syntax (especially method references), but I
hope that we will have a "syntax month" to allow a timeboxed
discussion of syntax.
