Hello @richdougherty Thanks for the detailed reply. Looking over what we have in the library, it now looks like we should not put this in `ObjectUtils`, it's not about any old objects, it's about functions, so `org.apache.commons.lang3.function.Functions` and `Failable` are better homes where you'll find: - `Functions.apply(Function<T, R>, T)` - `Failable.apply(FailableFunction<T, R, E>, T)` Now, we'd add a `[Functions|Failable].applyNonNull(Function<T, R>, T)` Note that the `Failable` APIs don't throw checked exceptions, which is why you can get away with declaring a single API if desired. I don't think the Javadoc should document "alternatives"; that's confusing. It might be OK to say "shorthand for..." with short examples; we already do that in some APIs, IIRC. I wonder how long it will be until someone asks about a `BiFunction` version 😉 Not for now. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
