lambda/lambda/langtools: initial lambda push; the current prototype suuports the following features:

I've found some bugs :)

// this doesn't compile - how to declare a function type that doesn't 
takes any parameter ?
#int() bar;


// in my opinion, an instruction can start with a lambda that has a body,
// but the hand-coded grammar of the compiler doesn't allow that.
#(int x) { System.out.println(x); }.();

// Open question: can an instruction starts with a lambda expression ?


// this snippet generate invalid code (at bytecode offset 4)
int v = #(Object o) {
   System.out.println(this.type());
   return 3;
}.("foo");

static int lambda$0(java.dyn.MethodHandle, java.lang.Object);
     Code:
        0: getstatic     #1          // Field 
java/lang/System.out:Ljava/io/PrintStream;
        3: aload_0
        4: invokevirtual #2       // Method "".type:()Ljava/dyn/MethodType;
        7: invokevirtual #3       // Method 
java/io/PrintStream.println:(Ljava/lang/Object;)V
       10: iconst_3
       11: ireturn
