Issue #15973 has been updated by marcandre (Marc-Andre Lafortune).

akr wrote similar opinion.

This same opinion would call for deprecation of `define_method(&block)`, which I believe would be a mistake.

I am assuming it is clear that `lambda(&block)` would never mutate `block` and return a new object that would be a lambda.

----------------------------------------
When Kernel#lambda receives a Proc that is not a lambda,
it returns it without modification. l propose changing `Kernel#lambda`
so it always returns a lambda.

Calling a method called lambda and having it effective do nothing was
not very intuitive.

Judging from marcandre's investigation here: https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/15620#note-1
changing the behavior should not cause much breakage, if any. 


This also happens to fix [Bug #15620]
