The only difference between a function and a variable in emacs lisp, and
in any other Lisp-2, is the register where the name is bound. So if you
can store a value in a variable, you can also store some code through
the use of (lambda ...). Because of this Lisp-2 design, you will have to
call it later with (funcall name arg1 arg2 ...). Try the code below if
you want, in emacs :

    (setq myorgfunction (lambda (a b) (+ a b)))

    (funcall myorgfunction 5 6)

It might help you.
