Request for Review (#3) : CR#8001634 : Initial set of lambda functional interfaces

[Mike Duigou]

The reason is that {Int|Double|Long}Function take an object and yield a primitive. Supplier, BinaryOperator, UnaryOperator and Block variants all operate on the primitive type (or the boxed version) and don't utilize any generic reference types. The only reference types used are the boxed versions of the primitive.

Why does, for example, IntFunction say "this is the {@code int}-bearing specialization for {@link Function}", yet IntBinaryOperator does not make a similar statement regarding BinaryOperator?
