Too bad you can't just call functional interfaces in Java 8, or you could just do something like this:

BiFunction<BigDecimal, BigDecimal, BigDecimal> add = BigDecimal::add; add(x, y);

Unfortunately you have to do:

add.apply(x, y);

Which is kind of cumbersome.

Yes, it pretty much defeats the point. It would work if they had implemented a default method for an interface.

Unfortunately they brought something completely different in the name of Default Methods, and that was in my opinion not needed.
