Lambdas and serialization

[Brian Goetz]

Yes, yes, and yes.  

It will be very bad to assign a lambda to a Serializable SAM type and have it not be serialiazable.  

This is as much a question for the JSR-292 expert group (Remi?) as for us.  We don't have an answer yet but this is an important requirement.
