Re: JUnit-BDD

Just catching up on this thread.  No, I think that lambdas represent more
gracefully an idea (a nameable, referenceable chunk of code) that JUnit had
previously needed to represent somewhat less elegantly by (ab-)using things
like annotations and reflection+special-naming.  But there are still
applications for which annotations make sense, including aiding code
analysis (@Nullable, @VisibleForTesting, @Override) and dynamic dependency
injection (if you like that kind of thing).
