We talked about that during Ada 2012 as an alternative to the (heavier) 
iterator and reference "syntax sugar". But it doesn't really solve the 
problem (separating code from it's "natural" location and having 
user-defined and language-defined containers "look" different than the 
built-in containers).

I'm somewhat dubious that lambdas would really be the solution to anything 
(other than making entries in the obfuscated Ada contest easier :-). But I'm 
willing to be convinced...
