Uh... AFAIK, MzScheme never supported "structured" LAMBDAs or
DEFINEs, e.g.:

mz> (define ((foo x) y)
(+ x y))
define: bad identifier at: (foo x) in: (define ((foo x) y) (+ x y))
mz>

But even a very old Elk-3.0 seems to:

elk> (define ((foo x) y)
(+ x y))
foo
elk> (foo 37)
#[compound value]
elk> ((foo 37) 3)
40
elk>
