Multiple no-arg lambda functions use same variable name (underscore)
See original GitHub issueI’m having trouble creating a minimal example, but having several optional-arg lambdas -> something (-> something-more)) in one line of code reuses/redefines the underscore variable name in the compiled Python code which sometimes seems to breaks my code.

@ArneBachmann @Sitwon I think I’m going to close this issue as a won’t fix, under the rationale that no-arg lambdas aren’t really built for nesting, and all the possible fixes I can think of only make no-arg lambdas more complicated.
@ArneBachmann Yeah, that’s probably a good idea. I’ll change this to be a documentation issue.
