spring cleaning in the lambda (langtools) repository

[Neal Gafter]

Maurizio-

You listed removal of "experimental support for exception transparency" as
one of the changes to bring the implementation in line with the latest spec
EDR, but I don't remember seeing that in your preceding email listing the
differences between the implementation and the specification.  The EDR does
not say how exceptions play into type inference (the entire type inference
section is "Still under development"), but it certainly does show examples
of apparently exception-transparent SAMs and lambdas.  Can you please tell
us what has changed?

Cheers,
Neal
