I see, that’s too bad. Anonymous functions appear to be dead as far as I can tell. In progress since 2012 I think?

Would it be permitted to add inline declarations of nested functions as a temporary replacement? They don’t capture state but at least they solve the issue of polluting namespace with named functions which you use in only one location. Better than nothing (since that’s what we’re realistically looking at) and no new complicated features.
