---------------------------------------------------------------

Predicate and Processor can be implemented with lambdas or function references, but Expressions cannot. 
Lambdas can only implement an interface fully known at compile-time, but Expression#evaluate is generic.

As of now, one requires a bridge, like this:

{code}
    private <V> Expression function(Function<Exchange, V> function) {
        return new ExpressionBridge<>(function);
    }

    private class ExpressionBridge<V> implements Expression {

        private final Function<Exchange, V> function;

        public ExpressionBridge(Function<Exchange, V> function) {
            this.function = function;
        }

        @Override
        public <T> T evaluate(Exchange exchange, Class<T> type) {
            return exchange.getContext().getTypeConverter().convertTo(type, function.apply(exchange));
        }
    }
{code}

> e.g. so folks can type things like
> {code}
> from("seda:cheese").
>   filter(m -> m.getHeader("foo", int.class) > 5).
>   map(m -> createPurchaseOrder(m.getBody(Invoice.class)).
>   to("seda:bar");
> {code}
> Note if the current Predicate/Expression classes don't work as lambdas we could add a new interface with a single method to the DSL to ensure Java 8 does the right thing with lambdas
