     This PEP proposes to make argumentless lambda keyword optional in
     some cases where it is not grammatically ambiguous.
 
+Deferral
+
+    The BDFL hates the unary colon syntax.  This PEP needs to go back
+    to the drawing board and find a more Pythonic syntax (perhaps an
+    alternative unary operator).  See python-dev discussion on
+    17 June 2005.
+
+    Also, it is probably a good idea to eliminate the alternative
+    propositions which have no chance at all.  The examples section
+    is good and highlights the readability improvements.  It would
+    carry more weight with additional examples and with real-world
+    referrents (instead of the abstracted dummy calls to :A and :B).
