yes :)

here is my startup script, btw:

import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.nio.file.*;
import java.math.*;
import java.util.function.*;
import java.util.stream.*;
import java.util.regex.*;
void printf(String format, Object... args) { System.out.printf(format, 
args); }
void print(Object value) { System.out.println(value); }

I've added imports * of java.util.function, java.util.stream and 
java.nio.file
so one can write things like this:

-> Consumer<Object> printer = System.out::println;
|  Modified variable printer of type Consumer<Object> with initial value 
$Lambda$8/1419810764 at 36f6e879

-> Files.list(Paths.get(".")).forEach(printer);

cheers,
Rémi
