This adds a special symbol `\` to the language and increases the language's complexity.
- It is not the most accessible on all keyboards, e.g. QWERTZ and AZERTY, so it may be annoying for non-US users to write.
- It may conflict with a potential set difference operator in type space, which is usually denoted as `T \ U` in mathematics. e.g. `\() nil :: T \ U \`
- This syntax might appear alien to users. The only language I know that uses `\` to refer to a function is Haskell.

The two restrictions from the Syntax section could be lifted by careful symbol choices and ordering, but I found the RFC's syntax the easiest to read and write while still being syntactically sound, even with the two aforementioned restrictions.

There are open-source libraries that attempt to fill this "short function" gap, like [Penlight's](https://github.com/lunarmodules/Penlight) placeholder expression library and lambda compiler.
