What is this snippet referring to? It's not currently in etc/NEWS.
It will be, when you apply my NEWS update mailed to xemacs-patches
yesterday.

It's not nearly as bad as recommending that one quote a lambda
expression. "Friends don't let friends quote lambda expressions."
Please apply the patch, and I'll mail a patch removing the quote. Or
just apply the patch and remove the quote.
As for the anonymous functions, I don't see what's wrong with this
one. While maybe not the best style in Emacs, anonymous functions are
a legitimate thing in Lisp.
Lisp is not C! :-)
