I'm sure the lambda-libs folks will someday provide a nice one we can link to here :-)

Note: There is one minor change to the implementation. Currently in the jdk8 repo j.u.f.DoubleBinaryOperator defines operateAsDouble. This method has been renamed to applyAsDouble in the lambda/lambda repo. When these changes are sync'ed from lambda/lambda this can be reverted. A similar comment has been added to the code.

I suspect that there will a lot of this sort of thing over the next several months. It is probably still worthwhile to establish these classes for the sake of integration checks, but we'll surely need a bunch more sync-ups for JDK8.
