You forgot the footnote:

No, that's wrong. It should be "For values of 'today' between
September 1st, 1993 and September 1352nd, 1993".

I don't understand all this hostility to lambda. Be happy, enjoy your
language while you can, while you're debating this instead of hacking
lisp, evildoers may already be at work writing a 32456 page
specification of New World Order Lisp, with /this/ lambda:

<ansi.lisp.common.core.special-forms.lambda>
<ansi.lisp.common.core.special-forms.lambda.arglist>
....
</ansi.lisp.common.core.special-forms.lambda.arglist>
<ansi.lisp.common.core.special-forms.lambda.body>
....
</ansi.lisp.common.core.special-forms.lambda.body>
</ansi.lisp.common.core.special-forms.lambda>
