Request for Review (#2) : CR#8001634 : Initial set of lambda functional interfaces

[Brian Goetz]

Nothing is final until (insert favorite metaphor here), but yes, we are 
looking for this to be the "effectively final" (though not necessarily 
complete) initial set of functional interfaces.  There was already a 
previous round of review with comment from the EG and from lambda-dev, 
so this round of review should focus on changes since the previous round.
