```
    Creates a Function3 based on
    
    method reference
    
    lambda expression
    
    Examples (w.l.o.g. referring to Function1):

    // 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
