Hey Alex and all,

Yes, hacking feverishly on that talk now. Not entirely sure there'll be
something standardizable, but definitely the talk is really to try and get
the creative juices flowing around more aggressively incorporating Java 8
features in APIs.

For security, mostly what I have in mind is a or lambda/method-reference
"run as" concept to aid in testing with security on. Think "doPrivilaged",
but now no inner class necessary.
