generic type inference in Java 8

Just read this morning an interesting mail [1] on the jclouds mailing list
which links to a discussion of a feature of Java 8 that I hadn't really
picked up on. It concerns some changes that 8 introduced in how generic
type inference works.

See
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30521974/why-does-the-java-8-generic-type-inference-pick-this-overload

and also JEP 101 (http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/101)

Thought it was interesting enough to forward!

Geoff
