As discussed in another thread; it's just like strawman, except the
parentheses around the expression are optional. Thus, official strawman
wants this:

Comparable<String> comparator = #(a, b) (a.length() - b.length());

and the paren-less variant lets you write this instead:

Comparable<String> comparator = #(a, b) a.length() - b.length();
