The following code is fine in Java 7, but poses a problem in Java 8.
```java
static class A {
B c(D d) { return null; }
static B c(A a, D d) { return null; }
}
```
The method reference `A::c` of the instance method `c` has an implicit first
parameter for the `this` pointer. So both methods that `A::c` could resolve to
are compatible with `BiFunction<A, D, B>`, and the method reference is
ambiguous.
```java
void f(BiFunction<A, D, B> f) { ... }
```
```
error: incompatible types: invalid method reference
f(A::c);
^
reference to c is ambiguous
both method c(A,D) in A and method c(D) in A match
```
Consider renaming one of the methods to avoid the ambiguity.
