While I believe that a solution without "new" is more concise, I also
believe it is more clear and consistent (because "The draft tries to take no
position on when lambda expression evaluation physically occurs.").
However, Alex's message of Mon, Mar 29, 2010 at 2:07 PM settled this issue
("The draft spec in the OpenJDK Lambda project will continue to avoid 'new'
in the denotation of a lambda expression."), so we can take any further
discussion off list.
