Then why not write an "fn" macro?

Sure I can work around it, and I probably will use a "fn" macro in the
future, but the point I was trying to make is that "lambda" is just an
unfortunate choice for a *very prominent* keyword.

If I used some-obscure-and-very-long-name a lot in some section of code,
I would write a macro and not think about it twice, but having to write a
macro just to change the name of something so ubiquitous smells of a bad
design choice, since I'd use it everywhere.
