Updated State of the Lambda

[Luc Duponcheel]

All,

great stuff

the end of the article shows support for simple expressions like

Collections.sortBy(people, #{ p -> p.getLastName() });

what about going one step further and use the (both loved and hated)
underscore syntax of Scala

Collections.sortBy(people, #{ _.getLastName() });

Or would that be one bridge to far?
