Bridge lava-api's functional interfaces to Java's functional interfaces by passing checked exceptions as unchecked.
Java's default functional interfaces (i.e. java.util.function.Function and
friends) allow not for raising checked exception, which practically denies us
from using these neat lambda shorthands for anything that may throw checked
exceptions. While the interfaces defined in tinyj-lava-api allow us to create
lambdas throwing checked exceptions, tinyj-lava-unsafe provides the glue to allow
us to use these lambdas in places where only Java's default interfaces are
accepted.
Warning: This library is a proof of concept and effectively breaks Java's assumption about checked exceptions and can lead to all sorts of unexpected behaviour and crashes. Use on your own discretion. See TinyJ Lava-Rex for a more conventional solution.
TinyJ Lava-Unsafe exploits a loophole in Java's generics system. It works reasonable well for now, but things may break anytime without any further notice.
