> Surely, this is a lexical issue. No space is needed between symbols
(like "\") and (unicode) letters (like x, y, or λ), although I recommend
to always leave a space, i.e. "f λ\ ..." would be parsed as "(f λ)\
...".
I was wondering if we could mimic the upper-case lambda `Λ` by using a
lower-case `l` for lambda
{{{#!hs
ex' = l\ x -> l\ y -> x
}}}
`l\` look like a malformed lambda! (don't)
