If I remind right, all this is "only" at language level, since they
did not want to change the VM (to stay compatible e.g.).  1.5 does
only translation of some syntactic sugar to other valid java code on
the fly I think...  some real functional featueres (while still
staying compatible to most VM's back to 1.3/2) you can accomplish
using http://nice.sf.net/.
