Yeah, thanks. I just didn't bother to change what was there originally. 
There's a lot more of them there too.

Looking at vc history, sql.el got infested by those sharp-quoted lambdas 
relatively recently, in 2013, at e18e61cf276880f658ab8cdf1f242a675b58cd71.

And I honestly can't blame the author for that. Even the current Elisp 
reference is a bit unclear on the use of sharp-quotes.
