The semantics of this feature may be complex only for API developers, but
not for API client developers. It is not more complex than a GWT.create()
invocation. An invocation to something like String.format("hello %s",
name), should be transparent for a common developer.

If you read the "Future Work" section of my proposal, you will find that
I'm proposing a GWT-free API, implemented as a Java 8 compiler plugin
(extension point). As today GWT compiler is not pluggable, we must modify
the compiler to explore these options.
Thanks for your feedback!
