Did anyone else read section 7 (Variable Capture) in the State of the Lambda document:
	http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~briangoetz/lambda/lambda-state-4.html
It discusses how they block access to outer non-final variables from an inner class.  This of course relates to Andrew's concerns about determining what is truly immutable -- e.g., it fails when an object/method accesses a variable from an outer scope.  

I don't know how far we should go in being restrictive, but clearly they were concerned.
