Description

Proposal to implement functional interface conversion functions in the class org.apache.commons.lang3.Functions that convert FailableXXX to XXX.

For example, the FailableRunnable can be converted with the method:

 

static <K extends Throwable> Runnable castToRunnable(FailableRunnable<K> s) {
   return () -> run(s);
}
