Am I the only one who finds the second line above much more readable than
the first? The def statement is not intended to be written in one line.
The readability suffers because the argument is separated from the value
expression by return keyword.
You are not the only one.
I will continue to write "f = lambda ..." at the interactive interpreter
without shame, although I rarely (never?) use it in code.
