Can someone explain to me, in English, what this technique allows me to express that I couldn't otherwise?
Is this just about allowing generic composition of lambdas?
It feels like it to me. What I've understood so far is that _0_n and _n are essentially the same, but that _0_n requires a lambda to scope them explicitly (sortof like protect). The advantage of _y_n is then that you can refer to the _ns in enclosing lambdas (aka outside of y protects). Am I on the right track, David? Thanks, ~ Scott
