> Java8 introduced functional interfaces, among them {{Function}} and {{BiFunction}} interfaces which are used as parameters to method calls, for example, {{Map.computeIfAbsent()}} or {{Map.computeIfPresent()}}. In Jexl we have lambdas which in theory are good candidates to construct a {{Function}} for lambda with one parameter, and a {{BiFunction}} for lambda with two parameters.
> The problem is Jexl can not currently support Java8 features and all instances of lambda are of single {{internal.Closure}} class, which should not try to implement both interfaces at once. One of the solutions, IMO, is to have a feature to overload lamda creations to construct custom lambda classes without shaking Jexl code tree.
