You mean things like doing recursion without having a lexical
possibility to let a lambda function refer to itself?

Emacs-Lisp:

((lambda (f g n) (funcall g (funcall f f g) n))
 (lambda (f g) `(lambda (n) (,g (funcall ,f ,f ,g) n)))
 (lambda (f n) (if (zerop n) 1 (* n (funcall f (1- n)))))
 5)

Common Lisp: delete the ` and ,
