[Mono-dev] System.Core patch for nested Lambda Expressions

[Roei Erez]

Hey Jb,
That is good, just be aware that your feeling was not totally wrong.
The decision of whether to quote the lambda is based on the called
method parameter.
If it is a delegate then it is not quoted, and if it is a lambda it is
quoted.

Regards,

My bad, my feeling was that passing a lambda as a Call parameter will
get the lambda quoted, indeed .net does not do that.

We're good. I'll commit a modified version of your patch as a start,
but I'll investigate more about how does this work wrt to the
ExecutionScope.
