/**
* A sequence of elements supporting sequential and parallel aggregate
* operations. The following example illustrates an aggregate operation using
* {@link Stream} and {@link IntStream}:
*
* <pre>{@code
* int sum = widgets.stream()
* .filter(w -> w.getColor() == RED)
* .mapToInt(w -> w.getWeight())
* .sum();
* }</pre>
*
* In this example, {@code widgets} is a {@code Collection<Widget>}. We create
* a stream of {@code Widget} objects via {@link Collection#stream Collection.stream()},
* filter it to produce a stream containing only the red widgets, and then
* transform it into a stream of {@code int} values representing the weight of
* each red widget. Then this stream is summed to produce a total weight.
*
* <p>In addition to {@code Stream}, which is a stream of object references,
* there are primitive specializations for {@link IntStream}, {@link LongStream},
* and {@link DoubleStream}, all of which are referred to as "streams" and
* conform to the characteristics and restrictions described here.
*
* <p>To perform a computation, stream
* <a href="package-summary.html#StreamOps">operations</a> are composed into a
* <em>stream pipeline</em>. A stream pipeline consists of a source (which
* might be an array, a collection, a generator function, an I/O channel,
* etc), zero or more <em>intermediate operations</em> (which transform a
* stream into another stream, such as {@link Stream#filter(Predicate)}), and a
* <em>terminal operation</em> (which produces a result or side-effect, such
* as {@link Stream#count()} or {@link Stream#forEach(Consumer)}).
* Streams are lazy; computation on the source data is only performed when the
* terminal operation is initiated, and source elements are consumed only
* as needed.
*
* <p>Collections and streams, while bearing some superficial similarities,
* have different goals. Collections are primarily concerned with the efficient
* management of, and access to, their elements. By contrast, streams do not
* provide a means to directly access or manipulate their elements, and are
* instead concerned with declaratively describing their source and the
* computational operations which will be performed in aggregate on that source.
* However, if the provided stream operations do not offer the desired
* functionality, the {@link #iterator()} and {@link #spliterator()} operations
* can be used to perform a controlled traversal.
*
* <p>A stream pipeline, like the "widgets" example above, can be viewed as
* a <em>query</em> on the stream source. Unless the source was explicitly
* designed for concurrent modification (such as a {@link ConcurrentHashMap}),
* unpredictable or erroneous behavior may result from modifying the stream
* source while it is being queried.
*
* <p>Most stream operations accept parameters that describe user-specified
* behavior, such as the lambda expression {@code w -> w.getWeight()} passed to
* {@code mapToInt} in the example above. To preserve correct behavior,
* these <em>behavioral parameters</em>:
* <ul>
* <li>must be <a href="package-summary.html#NonInterference">non-interfering</a>
* (they do not modify the stream source); and</li>
* <li>in most cases must be <a href="package-summary.html#Statelessness">stateless</a>
* (their result should not depend on any state that might change during execution
* of the stream pipeline).</li>
* </ul>
*
* <p>Such parameters are always instances of a
* <a href="../function/package-summary.html">functional interface</a> such
* as {@link java.util.function.Function}, and are often lambda expressions or
* method references. Unless otherwise specified these parameters must be
* <em>non-null</em>.
*
* <p>A stream should be operated on (invoking an intermediate or terminal stream
* operation) only once. This rules out, for example, "forked" streams, where
* the same source feeds two or more pipelines, or multiple traversals of the
* same stream. A stream implementation may throw {@link IllegalStateException}
* if it detects that the stream is being reused. However, since some stream
* operations may return their receiver rather than a new stream object, it may
* not be possible to detect reuse in all cases.
*
* <p>Streams have a {@link #close()} method and implement {@link AutoCloseable},
* but nearly all stream instances do not actually need to be closed after use.
* Generally, only streams whose source is an IO channel (such as those returned
* by {@link Files#lines(Path, Charset)}) will require closing. Most streams
* are backed by collections, arrays, or generating functions, which require no
* special resource management. (If a stream does require closing, it can be
* declared as a resource in a {@code try}-with-resources statement.)
*
* <p>Stream pipelines may execute either sequentially or in
* <a href="package-summary.html#Parallelism">parallel</a>. This
* execution mode is a property of the stream. Streams are created
* with an initial choice of sequential or parallel execution. (For example,
* {@link Collection#stream() Collection.stream()} creates a sequential stream,
* and {@link Collection#parallelStream() Collection.parallelStream()} creates
* a parallel one.) This choice of execution mode may be modified by the
* {@link #sequential()} or {@link #parallel()} methods, and may be queried with
* the {@link #isParallel()} method.
