+lambda expression				*expr-lambda* *lambda*
+-----------------
+{args -> expr1}		lambda expression
+
+A lambda expression creates a new unnamed function which returns the result of
+evaluating |expr1|.  Lambda expressions are differ from |user-functions| in
+the following ways:
+
+1. The body of the lambda expression is an |expr1| and not a sequence of |Ex|
+   commands.
+2. The prefix "a:" is optional for arguments.  E.g.: >
+	:let F = {arg1, arg2 -> arg1 - arg2}
+	:echo F(5, 2)
+<	3
+
+The arguments are optional.  Example: >
+	:let F = {-> 'error function'}
+	:echo F()
+<	error function
+
+Examples for using a lambda expression with |sort()|, |map()| and |filter()|: >
+	:echo map([1, 2, 3], {idx, val -> val + 1})
+<	[2, 3, 4] >
+	:echo sort([3,7,2,1,4], {a, b -> a - b})
+<	[1, 2, 3, 4, 7]
+
+The lambda expression is also useful for Channel, Job and timer: >
+	:let timer = timer_start(500,
+			\ {-> execute("echo 'Handler called'", "")},
+			\ {'repeat': 3})
+<	Handler called
+	Handler called
+	Handler called
+
+Note how execute() is used to execute an Ex command.  That's ugly though.
