I like the concept. I dislike the syntax. It looks too much like a JSON
object declaration, and it feels like it should be returning an object
instead of a closure/anonymous function. Additionally, I don't like that
it's also a closure. Short functions like this should be for simple
functions...
Perhaps:
lambda $x: trim($x);
$x: trim($x);
Or something similar...
