Description
Any property that takes a SAM can be currently assigned only to a value of it's kind.
We have a support for event handlers that can be assigned to a method reference, like <Button onAction="#myControllerMethod"/>

This support can be extended to support SAM classes (or at least java.util.function.* classes).
