This triggers my interest ;-)

First, I think that using lambas as proposed in the draft seems really
a smart idea. This is a good step forward.

The missing thing that you are refering to is initialization of
reference/lvalue captures?

AFAICS this is only necessary for the very specific feature of naming
a return value. So this would not be in conflict with the lambda
approach for C, where I tried just to be very careful not to introduce
aliasing to existing objects. Any "capture-like" syntax that just
gives a name and type to the return value/object, even as the proposed
`&name=return` looks good to me.

Thanks
