The use of "as" is based on an idea of mine. C# for example has "=>" and 
Oxygene has "->" which I didn't consider much Pascal like. Also the 
compiler needs to know the type of the lambda so it can correctly 
typecheck its code (after all we have no type inference (yet :P )). So 
"lambda PROCVARTYPE as EXPR/STMT" came as the most "natural" and Pascal 
like variant.
