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

[Tim Peierls]

Implementing more than one of the functional interfaces sounds like a bad
idea; making it difficult or impossible to do is a *good *thing. Use apply
everywhere to prevent things like Shimmer implements FloorWax,
DessertTopping.

Does anyone have any compelling example of why you actually might want to
implement multiple functional interfaces  that isn't satisfied by using
asFunction, asPredicate, asProcedure, etc. methods?
