Method references with types [Re: lambda syntax tutorial]

[John Nilsson]

Completness I guess. If a short hand for method calling wrappers is
provided. The shorthand should also allow method chaining and if
method chaining is support, why not arbitrary expressions?

Again, I'm thinking about the use case of declaring property lists to
extract from a collection.

I want to replace this

    printAsCsv(customerList,"customerNo","name.first","name.last", "age");

with something type-safe, still easy to to read and hopefully not add
any boilerplate.

BR,
John
