There are basically two types of people: geniuses, who understand
lambda variables, and the rest of us. (It has been pointed out
to me that there is a secondary dichotomy concerning whether
one knows which way round to write one's lambdas.) I have long
aspired to join the former class, but have always been thwarted
in my attempts by a brain that works like an 8086 PC in these
areas.
