Thanks Brian and Rémi for the response to my previous question.

Now that we established my lack of knowledge about the lambda type inference,
I have another question, but please note that it is not a suggestion for
improvement, merely a question about the limits of what would be possible.

A functional interface has only one abstract method, so is there any reason it
would not be possible to use an anonymous call to this method?

For example:

IntUnaryOperator operator = f -> f + 1;

and instead of

int i = operator.applyAsInt(1);

being able to do

int i = operator(1);


Thanks.
