Verify error with self-referential lambda

[dalewking]

Hesitate to call this a bug but I'll report this here as it took many hours to track down.

We have an interface that contains a static field DEFAULT which is an instance of the interface itself as in:

public MyInterface
{
    int foo(int a);

    MyInterface DEFAULT = ...
}

Originally the value for default was an anoymous inner class as in:

MyInteface DEFAULT = new MyInterface()
{
    pubic int foo(int a) { return someCall(a); }
}

which worked find. After adding retrolambda to the project, Android Studio said we should convert that to a lambda expression like in:

MyInteface DEFAULT = a -> someCall(a);

The result is that this worked on Lollipop, but crashes with a verify error on pre-Lollipop.

Not sure if you can make this work, but if not you could at least fail the build if you detect it.

Hey, in fact this was an issue and is already fixed in v1.8.1. Take a look at #42

Confirmed that 1.8.1 fixed the issue.
