+A student should be able to:
+
+1. Use a lambda to introduce a new identifier for use within the body of the lambda
+2. explain the relationships between generic lambdas and templates
+3. construct an object with choice between 2 identifiers, using immediately-dispathced lambda
+4. utilize an immediately dispatched lambda to encode multiple statements where the language requires an expression
+5. use the `mutable` keyword to allow changing a captured-by-value or lambda-local value within the lambda body
+6. explicitly specify the return type for a lambda
+7. explain under what conditions an explicit return type is necessary
