first-class anonymous functions.
Python already has first-class anonymous functions (`lambda`), but highly restricted ones.

In that case, C has highly restricted first class functions. "restricted first class" is a contradiction, IMO. First class with restrictions is not first class.

The restriction in Python is not on the first-classeness but on the anonymity.
