Hi all,
We have a draft policy for lambdas at [0], in a section that begins with
Note: This section is not an accepted convention yet.
This section serves as baseline for further discussions.
That section is now a quarter decade old; it's had a few updates since
it was added (2015-02-27), so may fairly be said to be evolving (albeit
it's had more formatting changes than substantive ones); but perhaps
it's about time we agreed that at least its low-level bits about
formatting can be promoted to [1], without such a caveat.

In particular, I'd like to (at least) amend the first exception in [1],
Function implementations and class declarations always have the left
brace on the start of a line:
to include "(but not lambdas)" in a judicious place, so that lambdas are
excluded from the exception and fit into our general pattern, putting
the open-brace on the same line as its controlling preamble: e.g.
Function implementations (but not lambdas) and class declarations
always have the left brace on the start of a line:
Does anyone object to this minimal change ?
(How long do I have to wait before I can claim lazy consensus ?)
