Re: Auto converting Python lambdas to functional interface impl.

Hi Nicolas,

This has been suggested as a feature ISTR but is way beyond any plan for 
2.7, which is bug-fixing at best. I'm giving nearly all my time to a 
possible Jython 3.

I agree it seems a natural feature to expect, that Python lambdas (or 
functions in general) should match an argument that is a functional 
interface (of the right shape).
