Updated State of the Lambda

By the way -- and I apologize if this has already been covered, I did some
searching and nothing came up -- is there any thought as to whether methods
will ever be able to declare lambdas as arguments?  Something like:

public <T> void myFilter(Iterable<? extends T>, (? super T -> boolean)
predicate ) { ... }


This function could then take either a lambda of the same type, or any
reference typed as a functional interface which could be expressed as a
corresponding lambda.

Thanks,
Yuval
