The above article raises a valid observation which needs, uhm well, ...,
observing.

Why disguise Smiths with Jones?

Better to work out a briefer syntax for lambda and "half-lambdas".

Now for a way out idea, since D source is cognisant of Unicode, albeit UTF-8,
why not make
use of (U+03BB), Greek Small Letter Lambda in the language?

http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/03bb/index.htm  (not the best
reference but it will do)

Of course this idea is not original, see following for "prior art"

Bests to all,
