You know, if you're not mature enough to have a civil conversation, you 
don't really need to participate. I asked an actual useful question, so I 
could perhaps learn why people are working to put lambdas into the language 
when they have restrictions that make them useless for what most other 
people use lambdas for. If your only answer is "there's no advantage of 
lambdas over coding a regular for loop", then yeah, C++ sucks.

However, if there's anyone else who might like to answer that question, and 
offer a scenario where such a structure is useful for something other than 
marketing that "oh yea, we have a functional language too", feel free to 
follow up.
