| 3.1 Evaluation 3.1.2 The Evaluation Model 3.1.2.1 Form Evaluation 3.1.2.1.2 Conses as Forms ### 3.1.2.1.2.4 Lambda Forms A lambda form is similar to a function form, except that the function name is replaced by a lambda expression. A lambda form is equivalent to using funcall of a lexical closure of the lambda expression on the given arguments. (In practice, some compilers are more likely to produce inline code for a lambda form than for an arbitrary named function that has been declared inline; however, such a difference is not semantic.) For further information, see Section 3.1.3 Lambda Expressions.
