This gist served as a good illustration of possible benefits https://gist.github.com/marcioAlmada/12ef23038bcf5acaa2e2f6b808c968d3. Boilerplate measuring apart, it seems logical that a closure should be able to fulfill an interface with a single method. About the applicability, I'm under the same impression as you, the use case is probably narrow, perhaps because anonymous classes is a newly added feature and wasn't explored enough. Cheers.
