OK, this works for me as well, which is great. The question now is
whether this is a feature or a bug?  In terms of the parameter list of a
function literal, the names should be there so requiring the name is
fixing a bug that was there. In terms of usability in context, if the
programmer doesn't use the variable just the fact that an instance of
the type was received, then having to give the variable a name is total
noise. In this case the old behaviour was right and the change created a
new bug.

I guess this is a situation where "Walter Decides" ?
