Actually, `StringTemplate::interpolate` is fine, as this method takes two parameters, whereas the instance method only takes an implicit `this` parameter.

The instance method is only assignable to `Function<StringTemplate, String>` or `Supplier<String>`, and the static method is only assignable to `BiFunction<List<String>, List<Object>, String>`.
