I think people are getting hung up on the lambda syntax, but it seems they're just taking what they're given. If c23 adds lambdas, at this point I'd say it's more likely to be c++ syntax than c syntax because c++ is already out there. So instead of "to resolve ambiguity we force user to choose" it's more like "the probable lambda syntax already makes this explicit so we will use it too." I think that makes more sense than two different syntaxes for lambda and defer, whatever the other merits of the proposal.
