Yes and no.  Method selection uses different code than the code that checks
for type compatibility.  It's mostly the same tests, but the former doesn't
handle lambda-to-interface conversion.  It would be non-trivial to change that.

However, this works:

(java.lang.Thread (->java.lang.Runnable (lambda () (newline))))
