Using function() with a lambda function

[Yegappan Lakshmanan]

Hi,

I see some unexpected behavior when trying to use function()
with the name of a lambda function:

let L = {s -> strlen(s)}

:echo L
function('<lambda>1')

:function <lambda>1
function <lambda>1(a, ...)
1 return strlen(a)
endfunction

:echo function('<lambda>1')
E129: Function name required
E475: Invalid argument: <lambda>1

I expected the last command to echo "'<lambda>1".

Regards,
Yegappan

Yeah, that looks inconsistent. I'll make a patch.
