The place where I've missed them myself is in GUI callback tables.
Switch statements is another potential usage, but that is a matter of
its own, too.
Mark's idea about being able to optimize initialization of non-
upvalue using functions is a good one.

Who is the intended audience for these lambda-style expressions, that
is, who will be actually writing code using them? And will lots of
nifty higher-order functions to go with them be provided?
Judging by comments in search of brevity on this thread, I wonder if
some people might be better served by the J programming language
(http://www.jsoftware.com/).
