Hi,

I am trying to use a comparator on a Map.Entry<String, Integer> stream, and I
am not sure why this does not compile:

.sorted(Comparator.comparing(Map.Entry::getValue))

error: reference to comparing is ambiguous
error: incompatible types: Cannot instantiate inference variables T because of
an inference loop

(interestingly the second error was not present when using a build from last week)

These two compile:

.sorted(Comparator.comparing((ToIntFunction<Map.Entry<String,
Integer>>)Map.Entry::getValue))

.sorted(Comparator.comparing((Map.Entry<String, Integer> entry) ->
entry.getValue().intValue()))

Thanks.
