If the syntax of lambda is changed such that parameter names have to be
enclosed in parantheses, we can safely use braces both for dictionaries
and for blocks. I think this is preferable to '{|', '<|' and other ugly
tokens. Changing that automatically in old code shouldn't be a problem,
and it would make 'lambda' look somewhat more like 'def', too.
