static <T1,T2,T3,T4,T5,T6,T7,T8,R> Function8<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5,T6,T7,T8,R> of(Function8<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5,T6,T7,T8,R> methodReference)
```
    Creates a Function8 based on
    - method reference
    - lambda expression
    Examples (w.l.o.g. referring to Function1):
```
// using a lambda expression
 Function1<Integer, Integer> add1 = Function1.of(i -> i + 1);

 // using a method reference (, e.g. Integer method(Integer i) { return i + 1; })
 Function1<Integer, Integer> add2 = Function1.of(this::method);

 // using a lambda reference
 Function1<Integer, Integer> add3 = Function1.of(add1::apply);
 
```
    Caution: Reflection loses type information of lambda references.
```
// type of a lambda expression
 Type<?, ?> type1 = add1.getType(); // (Integer) -> Integer

 // type of a method reference
 Type<?, ?> type2 = add2.getType(); // (Integer) -> Integer

 // type of a lambda reference
 Type<?, ?> type3 = add3.getType(); // (Object) -> Object
