Re: [q-lang-users] RFC: Conditional syntax

All right, the revised lambda.q is in cvs now, under examples.

Realizing that Q has namespaces :), I didn't even bother to change the 
name of the lambda operation. In fact you can even replace the builtin 
lambda with the one from lambda.q by uncommenting a single line near the 
beginning of lambda.q.
