Perhaps make parens mandatory: (\x -> x-1, x+1)

list:map(\x -> x*x)  --> list:map( (\x -> x*x) ) --> list:map(
function(x) return x*x end )

selectf( exp, (\-> t.foo), (\-> t.bar) )

window:setCallback(\event : print(event.target) -> false )

The positive side of this is that you don't need to surround blocks
with do..end. The parenthesis already does the trick.

Now we just need list comprehensions: { x  | x <- list, (\i-> i %2 == 0 ) }
