What about the following combo:

FunctionType:
    ReturnType #(ParameterTypes) Throws

LambaExpression:
    #(Parameters) Block

LambdaInvocationExpression:
    FnTypeExpression . #(ParameterExpressions)


The magic '#' is allways where a method name is expected in established syntax. I think this wouldn't be hard to explain to newbies.
