Yes, it sounded like that was maybe what you meant (in another message
in this thread - quoted below). So what does the version with the
semi-colon return? Or would the semi-colon be a syntax error?

Yes, of course it's an expression. We make a provision that a lambda
expression can end with a simple expression in which case that is its
return value. It could be made into a statement and a valid function
body like this:
auto(x) { x->first < 0; }
but then such a statement normally does *not* return, and the
semicolon adds a little confusion, one more character, and nothing of
value.
