What do you mean?

#int(int) square = #(int x)(x * x);
...
Integer y = ...
System.out.println(y + " squared is " + square.(y));

This seems to work just fine...

Or you mean the #(int)int type won't accept a #(Integer)int type? The 
spec (in their current form) doesn't allow for such interoperability 
(argument types on the RHS need to be supertypes of argument types on 
the LHS).
