Totally agree here - in fact this is explicitly called out in the JEP. I 
think we should hold off judgment and see how this goes in the real 
world. Certain API idioms (fluent APIs making use of nested lambda, for 
instance) could definitively take advantage of something like this - but 
the readability problem is real and should be assessed with some real 
corpus data.
