But they are obsolescent.  They exist only for backward compatibility, which
is not an issue when you're adding something new like anonymous functions.

I'm not sure how easy it is to parse, anyway; I think I'd be satisfied with my
earlier proposal:
	signal(SIGINT, remote(void (int sig), { interrupted = 1; }));
	ctime(&remote(long, 0));
