It would be convenient if scheme-mode had the same indentation rules and
font face for `lambda' and the Greek letter `λ'.

I.e., we want this:

    (lambda (x)
      (* x x))

and this:

    (λ (x)
      (* x x))

Instead of this:

    (λ (x)
       (* x x))

Popular Schemes has had λ support for some time now:

  * Racket supports λ (since March 2005)
  * Guile supports λ (since February 2011)
  * Geiser has a key binding for inserting λ (since February 2013)
