+<p>
+ Gleam has a shorthand syntax for creating anonymous functions that take one
+ argument and immediately call another function with that argument: the
+ function capture syntax.
+</p>
+<p>
+ The anonymous function <code>fn(a) { some_function(..., a, ...) }</code> can
+ be written as <code>some_function(..., _, ...)</code>, with any number of
+ other arguments passed to the inner function. The underscore <code>_</code> is
+ a placeholder for the final argument.
