Well, example(lambda) --> error is a bug. But aside from that, some
examples have to be enclosed in "" because they are operators which are
recognized specially by the parser. For example, example(if) is an
error because 'if' should be followed by a Boolean expression. So to
make the parser happy, it has to be example("if").
