That's not an anonymous function then, is it? You want to assign a name
to that function, and (to be useful in development tools, such as a
stack trace) the function needs to know its own name.
The way to do that is, as you point out, the ‘def’ statement:
def f(x):
return (x * x)
What does that prevent you from doing? It will need to be pretty
significant improvement to be considered as a change to language syntax.

Too many times to count :-)
