Both issues exists, but there is a tendency to make these decisions
separate and uncoupled. This makes it easier to have a larger design
space. The overlap of both is well-known to the committee but it was
evaluated that lambda expressions *can* be made polymorphic with still
not allowing for general member templates within local types. This
doesn't mean that the constrain will not be lifted, but it will be
deferred to a different decision.
