Note on java.util.functions

[Brian Goetz]

JSR-341 introduces a static-extension-method-like mechanism into EL, but 
EL has nothing to do with the Java language or libraries.  Think of 
EL/JSR-341 as just another scripting language.  We can't possibly align 
the Java language and libraries with all the scripting languages that 
will be built on top of the JVM, nor would we want to.
