I think it's mostly the capture mode [] stuff that's a bit ugly.
I think this is a legal lambda:  [=,this,&x,&y](int& r) mutable { ... }

Anyway, I'm impressed that MS is getting these things into the
compiler so quickly.  I had expected to see another C99 foot-dragging
extravaganza.  Guess it just goes to show how little they care about
C.
