Aha... that explains it pretty good.

Ok. I didn't expect that the name is relevant in this case, instead 
assumed that only the types need to match.

Do I? Not that I'm aware of it in my pseudo-code example...

This would require one wrap function per different lambda, right? 
Assume I have 50-100 of these. Maybe the myMessage value can be given 
as parameter and with this becomes more like a "filter factory". Not 
sure if this would work.
