Anonymous Code Blocks as Lambdas?

Howdy,

Very excited about the new `DO` command in 8.5a2. I read through the  
patch review thread and found that, like me, Dim had expected it to  
behave more like a lambda than a simple command. And from Tom's  
comments, it looks like it was committed in such a way to make such  
extensions possible (passing arguments, returning values (maybe even  
sets?).

So I was wondering if anyone has thought about adding such  
functionality, and if so, what it might look like?

If the answer is "no, because we want to see what cow paths develop in  
8.5," that's fine with me. I'll just be chasing cows. :-)

Best,

David
