Annotating lambda expressions

[Ron Pressler]

)

It is useful to add an annotation to a lambda expression -- as in
foo(@Special () -> { ...}) -- which will be applied to the static method
implementing the lambda (not to the interface the lambda implements). This
would allow instrumentation tools operating on method implementations to
handle lambdas. So far, AFAICT, this is not possible (or am I wrong?).

Opinions?
