NAME
====

Slang::Lambda - allow λ as a pointy block starter

SYNOPSIS
========

```raku
use Slang::Lambda;

say (1,2,3).map: λ $x { $x+1 }  # (2 3 4)
```

DESCRIPTION
===========

Slang::Lambda modifies the Raku grammar to make it possible to use simple the `λ` (lambda) symbol as the starter symbol of a pointy block (which is usually `->`).

INSPIRATION
===========

A question on [/r/rakulang](https://www.reddit.com/r/rakulang/comments/1idts0a/how_can_i_use_λ_lambda_for_if_at_all/).
