Description
The latest lambda spec has several changes involving overload resolution:

*) new 'provisonally applicable' step before ordinary applicability check (used for stuck arguments)
*) new structural most specific routine
*) lambda and method references are always type-checked using the loose compatibility context

Javac should be modified to reflect that.
