      Description

Add the runtime code that acts as the invokedynamic bootstrap for lambda 
expression creation. Include type and consistency checks. Implementation 
for JDK8 is to generate an inner class that implements the functional 
interface. Serialization is not included in this task and will be 
handled in a separate task.

The approach is described here:
