Implementing more than one of the functional interfaces sounds like a bad idea; making it difficult or impossible to do is a *good *thing. Use apply everywhere to prevent things like Shimmer implements FloorWax, DessertTopping.
Does anyone have any compelling example of why you actually might want to implement multiple functional interfaces that isn't satisfied by using asFunction, asPredicate, asProcedure, etc. methods? --tim On Wed, Nov 14, 2012 at 12:12 PM, Mike Duigou <mike.dui...@oracle.com>wrote: > The issue is primarily when one class wants to implement more than one > functional interface.
