Lambda and JSR 292 method handle (a prototype)

[Neal Gafter]

Rémi-

In Types.java, you seem to mark most function types as reifiable, but your
mapping (erasure) does not in fact reify them.  Am I missing something?

Also, your selected syntax for lambda expressions would be ambiguous with
shorthand invocation.  The expression "lambda()(2)" can either be a lambda
expression of no arguments whose result is 2, or an invocation of a method
named lambda with no arguments, and then applying the resulting function
value to the single argument 2.

Cheers,
Neal
