I do not relish your proposal of changing all abstract methods in interfaces to 
be declared redundantly public because of potential future features, even if 
such features are highly likely, we should have that discussion when those 
feature arrive.

The source in the java.util.function package uses "public default" for default 
methods. That source has been through a round of reviews strongly indicating 
this was the preferred approach. Mike, is that so?
