    Returns the tree with the assignment context for the treePath leaf node. (Does not handle pseudo-assignment of an argument to a parameter or a receiver expression to a receiver.)

    The type of the lambda or method reference tree is a functional interface type. This method returns the single abstract method declared by that functional interface. (The type of this method is referred to as the function type.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    tree - lambda or member reference tree

    Returns:
    
    the single abstract method declared by the type of the tree

    Returns true if tree is an implicitly typed lambda.
    A lambda expression whose formal type parameters have inferred types is an implicitly typed lambda. (See JLS 15.27.1)
    
    Parameters:
    
    tree - any kind of tree
    
    Returns:
    
    true iff tree is an implicitly typed lambda.
