Sounds like a reason to keep the method names the same! Why introduce name
diversity if no one will notice it in many cases?

Here's a similar case of not introducing diversity unnecessarily: We try,
as a matter of style, to keep formal parameter names the same when
implementing/overriding methods, even though we aren't required to.

Anyway, Predicate, Function, Procedure/Block/whatever usage is not
restricted to lambda expressions. There will still be a need to write these
method names.
