if 'foo' and/or 'bar' are lambda expressions, you get this error, as
lambda expressions in code aren't instances, they need a type to get compiled,
and not specifying int/object in BLA forces the compiler to check the
parameter (foo/bar) to learn the type for int/object, however THOSE are needed
for foo/bar ;)
