Self executing lambda expression in Common Lisp

I thought that this is the only way to write self executing lambda expression in Common LISP:

(funcall #'(lambda (x) (format t "~S" x)) 10)

but it seems that this also work in CLISP on GNU/Linux:

((lambda (x) (format t "~S" x)) 10)

which is more like you do this in Scheme. Is this something that is correct according to Common LISP spec? Does other CL implementation also work this way.

That's standard Common Lisp syntax.

See lambda forms in Conses as Forms.
