IMO, it's much more useful to have `λ', together with an Emacs hack
that makes it easy to type. In the last few years I even switched to
omitting the space in some simple cases, so I use
(λ() (blah)
(blah)
(blah))
which is even shorter than `thunk'. Also, there's no confusion
between `thunk' and `thunk*' (accepts any number of arguments) which
some people prefer.
(Not on the list; feel free to forward...)
