simple shorter function syntax

[Trans]

Hi--

I was reading about the proposed shorter function syntax on the wiki
and want to comment on it.

  http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=strawman:shorter_function_syntax

I do not see how it is advantageous to using a special symbol, '#'.

Taking the example.

  [0, 1, 2, 3].map( #(x) {x * x} )

If the goal is just to be more concise, what is wrong with 'f' as an
abbreviation of 'function'?

  [0, 1, 2, 3].map( f(x) {x * x} )

Or 'fn', if it seems a little clearer.

  [0, 1, 2, 3].map( fn(x) {x * x} )

Heck you could even use 'y' as an upside down lambda if you wanted.

  [0, 1, 2, 3].map( y(x) {x * x} )

Any of these seem a much nicer choice than '#', IMHO.
