Whether it is "do" or "on" or "with" or "call" or "exec" or "invoke" or 
whatever descriptive verb, I much prefer it to some cryptic syntax where 
a symbol blends into the noise.

The original idea was whether it would be possible to use a method-style 
invocation of lambdas. This has turned into a competition of finding the 
"shortest invocation style possible" disrespecting the Java-ish feel.
