It is actually intended to be added to C which is kinda weird and against C's road map. C has decided that is a minimal abstraction over hardware to allow cross platform and not much else. C1X will probably feature barely any new features unless apple coughs up a lot of money.

I don't want this in C, but it is better suited to C++ if they didn't already have this planned http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B0x#Lambda_functions_and_expressions
