No. But <lambda> *including the angle brackets* is the name of the

Ah, OK. I'll buy that.
Although I'd probably have called it the __name__ rather than just name.
I must admit I'd never even thought of checking the __name__ attribute
of a lambda, I'd kind of just assumed it would be empty (or maybe
'anonymous')!
