CFV: Project sponsorship: Closures For Java

[Rob Leland]

Hi,

At one time there were at least 3 proposals for closures in Java.
Having not followed closely the different closure proposal statuses what 
does this mean ?
Does this mean that one of the 3 proposals has been selected and that 
all thats needed for a future
JDK inclusion is an reference implementation ?
