(changing the subject so we don't disrupt the main discussion)

Not quite 😔

The changes in Java to support Lambdas are much deeper than just how the 
Metafactory is invokedynamic'ed, as it changes how type inference and overload 
resolution is done. Same as with the issues we discussed a while back around 
method references: Supporting Java8 semantics in the Groovy compiler is a very 
big task, as we just don't have the type information available.

I would much rather suggest supporting the lambda syntax with groovy semantics, 
but add warnings if we detect that the code may rely on Java lambda semantics. 
For instance, we could warn the user if the lambda referred to 'this' or 
'super' directly.
