interface Tagged {
    boolean tag();
}

Stream<Tagged> stream = ...;

You can do this (exhibit A):
   Predicate<Tagged> p = Tagged::tag;
   Collection<Tagged> untagged = stream.filter( p.negate()
).collect(Collectors.toSet());

But you can't do this (exhibit B):
   Collection<Tagged> untagged = stream.filter( (Tagged::tag).negate()
).collect(Collectors.toSet());

Why not? It would be pretty neat. Or am I missing something?
