Hi Yusuke, thank you for the reply

understand there is limitation on the numbered parameter, just feel it's

Hi Yusuke, thank you for the reply, good to understand what caused the issue

However, it just makes me feel the numbered parameter behaves different from traditional block parameter

```
2.7.0 :001 > l = lambda {|p| p *1 }
2.7.0 :002 > l[2]
 => 2 
2.7.0 :003 > l = lambda {|p| p * 1 }
2.7.0 :004 > l[2]
 => 2 
```

Bug #16496: Numbered Parameter not parsed properly in lambda
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16496#change-83780

* Author: JustinFeng (Justin Feng)
* Status: Rejected
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: 
* Target version: 
* ruby -v: ruby 2.7.0p0 (2019-12-25 revision 647ee6f091) [x86_64-darwin18]
* Backport: 2.5: UNKNOWN, 2.6: UNKNOWN, 2.7: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
The space between `*` and `1` changes the lambda behaviour, looks like numbered parameter `_1` is not parsed properly

```
2.7.0 :001 > l = -> { _1 * 1 }
2.7.0 :002 > l[2]
 => 2
2.7.0 :003 > l2 = -> { _1 *1 }
2.7.0 :004 > l2[2]
