Short: function datatype From: Matthew Julius <julius.2@wright.edu> Date: Fri, 08 Jan 1999 16:29:08 -0500 Type: Feature State: Unclassified anonymous functions, the 'function' datatype, would be very useful for times when lambda() closures are needed but are overkill. lambda() would be useful when you _have_ to build a function dynamically at runtime, and anonymous functions any other time.
