The lambda always starts as a temporary, so presumably we want the default address space qualifier on lambdas to be compatible with the address space of temporaries.  However, that's probably also true of the default address qualifier on methods in general or you wouldn't be able to call them on temporaries and locals.  Thus, we should be able to use the same default in both cases, which seems to be what you've implemented.

Perhaps I am not thinking of the right use cases, but I am struggling to understand what would be the difference to variables of other type here.

I have added `(*(__constant decltype(somelambda) *) nullptr)()` as a test case however. It is rejected due to multiple addr spaces.

Also generally do you think there is any situation in which having lambda object and lambda call operator in different addr spaces would be useful?
