My next comment:

   lambda(X)[ let[ Y == X %plus% 3,
                   F == minus[2] 
              ].in[
                F[Y]
              ]
            ]

a. Is there a *reason* that square brackets have to be used for
   postfix function args in lambdas?

b. It  seems like 

   lambda(X)[ let[ Y == X %plus% 3,
                   F == minus[2] 
              ],
              F[Y]
            ]

   would be a little sweeter, syntactically speaking.
