quoting lambdas (was: Re: lambda an (interactive) function but not a command)

[Emanuel Berg <moasenwood@zoho.eu>]

Now when we are on the interesting subject of
lambdas, I've heard one shouldn't quote them.
This makes sense as they are code, not data.

But what about the hash-quote or
"function quote", i.e. the #' ? IIUC that tells
the byte-compiler that something is a function,
so the byte-compiler can examine if the
function is defined at that point, and possibly
even do some optimizations - but obviously the
byte-compiler should already know that a lambda
is a function!

So #' with lambdas should be
meaningless, right?

But I suppose if they are meaningless, one
might put them there just as well :)

What's the policy from Emacs High Command?
