[description]
[para]
This package provides two convenience commands to make the writing of
anonymous procedures, i.e. lambdas more [cmd proc]-like. Instead of,
for example, to write
[example {
set f {::apply {{x} {
....
}}}
}]
with its deep nesting of braces, or
[example {
set f [list ::apply {{x y} {
....
}} $value_for_x]
}]
with a list command to insert some of the arguments of a partial
application, just write
[example {
set f [lambda {x} {
....
}]
}]
and
[example {
set f [lambda {x y} {
....
} $value_for_x]
}]

[comment {- - -- --- ----- -------- ------------- ---------------------}]
[call [cmd ::lambda] [arg arguments] [arg body] [opt [arg arg]...]]
The command constructs an anonymous procedure from the list of
arguments, body script and (optional) predefined argument values and
returns a command prefix representing this anonymous procedure.
[para] When invoked the [arg body] is run in a new procedure scope
just underneath the global scope, with the arguments set to the values
supplied at both construction and invokation time.
[comment {- - -- --- ----- -------- ------------- ---------------------}]
[call [cmd ::lambda@] [arg namespace] [arg arguments] [arg body] [opt [arg arg]...]]
The command constructs an anonymous procedure from the namespace name,
list of arguments, body script and (optional) predefined argument
values and returns a command prefix representing this anonymous
procedure.
[para] When invoked the [arg body] is run in a new procedure scope in
the [arg namespace], with the arguments set to the values supplied at
both construction and invokation time.
