I'm on the fence. String lambdas are about as concise as is 
syntactically possible, although q{a * b} looks a bit ugly, and 
"a * b" doesn't highlight properly in editors. Also, I think they 
will confuse newcomers. It's really weird that [1, 2, 3].map!"a + 
1" turns the passed string into a function, and extremely 
confusing if you haven't read the documentation.
