Yes, but what's the point of implementing Comparable with a lambda?
Comparable models an extra capability of a class of objects with other
behaviour (say, Strings). In case of lambdas, the only behaviour is
the implementation of the target SAM, so if you implement a Comparable
with a lambda, you'll get an object with no capabilities except to
compare itself with other objects - not very useful.
