If they are useful or not is mainly a matter of programming style.
Personally I like them, but then I am familiar with functional
languages where anonymous functions are an important part of the
language. (Program in List or ML for a while, and I think you will see
how they can be useful.)

I agree that they are not very "C-like" so it might be difficult to add
them in a sane manner.
