Research direction

Start by reading docs/concept-exercises.md, docs/rationale-for-v3.md, and docs/features-of-v3.md, then watch the linked Anatomy of a Concept Exercise video. Create the listed files under languages/clojure/exercises/concept/anonymous-functions, covering the stated learning objectives and prerequisites; done means the exercise, tests, metadata, and documentation are present without representer or analyzer changes.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
