Thanks for the fun read. :)

I think Marc only proposed 'schönfinkel' tongue-in-cheekly, and I only
included it on the list for completeness.  That leaves ASCII names
only, so I think the issue is moot.  Is there a name you prefer for
what we've called lambda*?

On the note of Unicode names, the single most terse and descriptive
name that's been suggested to me is 🍛 (U+1F35B CURRY AND RICE).  But
emoji in Scheme is probably going too far for most!
