What is the meaning of this?

[Mikael Grev]

I must, slightly reluctantly due to historic reasons, agree as well. No matter how things are turned lambdas is something new and the object implementation should not shine through if not needed or shown advantageous.

Also, I have always thought declaring a variable as 'volatile' would've been a better solution than forcing it to be final since so many go around that anyway. I know I do sometimes, and I just feel dirty when I do, for no good reason since I know what I'm doing (most of the times anyway. Can't think of a bug introduced that way).

Cheers,
Mikael
