Typed Method handles

[Collin Fagan]

*are not being addressed in the lambda list... method literals*

remember Field literals were hotly contested and considered out of scope.
Please excuse my recent references to method literals.

Is there an official list somewhere so I can stay on track?

Thanks,

Collin
