>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7772
>             Project: Groovy
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: groovy-runtime
>    Affects Versions: 2.4.6
>            Reporter: UEHARA Junji
>            Assignee: Jochen Theodorou
>            Priority: Minor
>
> Groovy's operator .& for method is similar functionality to Java8's method 
> reference operator ::.
> ||No.||lhs||rhs||meaing of Groovy's .& (Closure) ||meaning of java8's :: 
> (FunctionalInterface)||
> |1|instance|instanceMethod| { ..args -> instance.instanceMethod(args) | same 
> as groovy |
> |2|Class|staticMethod| { ..args -> Class.staticMethod(args) | same as groovy |
> |3|instance|staticMethod| ERROR groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: | Error 
> same as groovy (compile error) |
> |4|Class|instanceMethod|error| Function<RetType,Class,Args..>, where method 
> instance method of Class which is declared as ```RetType 
> instanceMethod(Args..) {...}```. In other words it is interpreted as a 
> function which takes LHS Class as the first parameter which additionally 
> inserted to the method.)|
> IMHO, i'd like to propose to change the No 4 pattern semantics of groovy  
> same as Java 8 's. Because:
>  * You can write:
> {code}
> ["a,b,c"].collect ( String.&toUpperCase )
> {code}
> instaed of
> {code}
> ["a,b,c"].collect { it.toUpperCase() }
> {code}
> * Can have correspond operator to java8's ::. which is understandablea and 
> needed for Java programmers.
