-## Lambda shortcuts
-
-You have to enable cl-punch's syntax yourself.
-
-We use [cl-punch](https://github.com/windymelt/cl-punch/) - Scala-like anonymous lambda literal.
-
-``` example
-(ciel:enable-punch-syntax)
-```
-
-```lisp
-;; ^() is converted into (lambda ...) .
-;; Each underscore is converted into a lambda argument.
-
-(mapcar ^(* 2 _) '(1 2 3 4 5))
-;; => '(2 4 6 8 10)
-
-;; One underscore corresponds one argument.
-
-(^(* _ _) 2 3)
-;; => 6
-
-;; <_ reuses last argument.
-
-(mapcar ^(if (oddp _) (* 2 <_) <_) '(1 2 3 4 5))
-;; => '(2 2 6 4 10)
-
-;; _! corresponds one argument but it is brought to top of the argument list.
-;; It can be useful when you want to change argument order.
-
-(^(cons _ _!) :a :b)
-;; => (:b . :a)
-
-(^(list _! _! _!) 1 2 3)
-;; => '(3 2 1)
