/**
 * Flags corresponding to characteristics of streams and operations. Flags are
 * utilized by the stream framework to control, specialize or optimize
 * computation.
 *
 * <p>
 * Stream flags may be used to describe characteristics of several different
 * entities associated with streams: stream sources, intermediate operations,
 * and terminal operations.  Not all stream flags are meaningful for all
 * entities; the following table summarizes which flags are meaningful in what
 * contexts:
 *
 * <div>
 * <table class="borderless">
 *   <caption>Type Characteristics</caption>
 *   <thead class="tableSubHeadingColor">
 *     <tr>
 *       <th colspan="2">&nbsp;</th>
 *       <th>{@code DISTINCT}</th>
 *       <th>{@code SORTED}</th>
 *       <th>{@code ORDERED}</th>
 *       <th>{@code SIZED}</th>
 *       <th>{@code SHORT_CIRCUIT}</th>

 *        <td>N</td>
 *        <td>N</td>
 *        <td>PC</td>
 *        <td>N</td>
 *        <td>PI</td>
 *      </tr>
 *   </tbody>
 *   <tfoot>
 *       <tr>
 *         <th class="tableSubHeadingColor" colspan="2">Legend</th>
 *         <th colspan="6" rowspan="7">&nbsp;</th>
 *       </tr>
 *       <tr>
 *         <th class="tableSubHeadingColor">Flag</th>
 *         <th class="tableSubHeadingColor">Meaning</th>
 *         <th colspan="6"></th>
 *       </tr>
 *       <tr><td>Y</td><td>Allowed</td></tr>
 *       <tr><td>N</td><td>Invalid</td></tr>
 *       <tr><td>P</td><td>Preserves</td></tr>
 *       <tr><td>C</td><td>Clears</td></tr>
 *       <tr><td>I</td><td>Injects</td></tr>
 *   </tfoot>
 * </table>
 * </div>
 *
 * <p>In the above table, "PCI" means "may preserve, clear, or inject"; "PC"
 * means "may preserve or clear", "PI" means "may preserve or inject", and "N"
 * means "not valid".
 *
 * <p>Stream flags are represented by unioned bit sets, so that a single word
 * may describe all the characteristics of a given stream entity, and that, for
 * example, the flags for a stream source can be efficiently combined with the
 * flags for later operations on that stream.
 *
 * <p>The bit masks {@link #STREAM_MASK}, {@link #OP_MASK}, and
 * {@link #TERMINAL_OP_MASK} can be ANDed with a bit set of stream flags to
 * produce a mask containing only the valid flags for that entity type.
 *
 * <p>When describing a stream source, one only need describe what
 * characteristics that stream has; when describing a stream operation, one need
 * describe whether the operation preserves, injects, or clears that
 * characteristic.  Accordingly, two bits are used for each flag, so as to allow
 * representing not only the presence of a characteristic, but how an
 * operation modifies that characteristic.  There are two common forms in which
 * flag bits are combined into an {@code int} bit set.  <em>Stream flags</em>
 * are a unioned bit set constructed by ORing the enum characteristic values of
 * {@link #set()} (or, more commonly, ORing the corresponding static named
 * constants prefixed with {@code IS_}).  <em>Operation flags</em> are a unioned
 * bit set constructed by ORing the enum characteristic values of {@link #set()}
 * or {@link #clear()} (to inject, or clear, respectively, the corresponding
 * flag), or more commonly ORing the corresponding named constants prefixed with
 * {@code IS_} or {@code NOT_}.  Flags that are not marked with {@code IS_} or
 * {@code NOT_} are implicitly treated as preserved.  Care must be taken when
 * combining bitsets that the correct combining operations are applied in the
 * correct order.
 *
 * <p>
 * With the exception of {@link #SHORT_CIRCUIT}, stream characteristics can be
 * derived from the equivalent {@link java.util.Spliterator} characteristics:
 * {@link java.util.Spliterator#DISTINCT}, {@link java.util.Spliterator#SORTED},
 * {@link java.util.Spliterator#ORDERED}, and
 * {@link java.util.Spliterator#SIZED}.  A spliterator characteristics bit set
 * can be converted to stream flags using the method
 * {@link #fromCharacteristics(java.util.Spliterator)} and converted back using
 * {@link #toCharacteristics(int)}.  (The bit set
 * {@link #SPLITERATOR_CHARACTERISTICS_MASK} is used to AND with a bit set to
 * produce a valid spliterator characteristics bit set that can be converted to
 * stream flags.)
 *
 * <p>
 * The source of a stream encapsulates a spliterator. The characteristics of
 * that source spliterator when transformed to stream flags will be a proper
 * subset of stream flags of that stream.
 * For example:
 * <pre> {@code
 *     Spliterator s = ...;
 *     Stream stream = Streams.stream(s);
 *     flagsFromSplitr = fromCharacteristics(s.characteristics());
 *     assert(flagsFromSplitr & stream.getStreamFlags() == flagsFromSplitr);
 * }</pre>
 *
 * <p>
 * An intermediate operation, performed on an input stream to create a new
 * output stream, may preserve, clear or inject stream or operation
 * characteristics.  Similarly, a terminal operation, performed on an input
 * stream to produce an output result may preserve, clear or inject stream or
 * operation characteristics.  Preservation means that if that characteristic
 * is present on the input, then it is also present on the output.  Clearing
 * means that the characteristic is not present on the output regardless of the
 * input.  Injection means that the characteristic is present on the output
 * regardless of the input.  If a characteristic is not cleared or injected then
 * it is implicitly preserved.
 *
 * <p>
 * A pipeline consists of a stream source encapsulating a spliterator, one or
 * more intermediate operations, and finally a terminal operation that produces
 * a result.  At each stage of the pipeline, a combined stream and operation
 * flags can be calculated, using {@link #combineOpFlags(int, int)}.  Such flags
 * ensure that preservation, clearing and injecting information is retained at
 * each stage.
 *
 * The combined stream and operation flags for the source stage of the pipeline
 * is calculated as follows:
 * <pre> {@code
 *     int flagsForSourceStage = combineOpFlags(sourceFlags, INITIAL_OPS_VALUE);
 * }</pre>
 *
 * The combined stream and operation flags of each subsequent intermediate
 * operation stage in the pipeline is calculated as follows:
 * <pre> {@code
 *     int flagsForThisStage = combineOpFlags(flagsForPreviousStage, thisOpFlags);
 * }</pre>
 *
 * Finally the flags output from the last intermediate operation of the pipeline
 * are combined with the operation flags of the terminal operation to produce
 * the flags output from the pipeline.
 *
 * <p>Those flags can then be used to apply optimizations. For example, if
 * {@code SIZED.isKnown(flags)} returns true then the stream size remains
 * constant throughout the pipeline, this information can be utilized to
 * pre-allocate data structures and combined with
 * {@link java.util.Spliterator#SUBSIZED} that information can be utilized to
 * perform concurrent in-place updates into a shared array.
 *
 * For specific details see the {@link AbstractPipeline} constructors.
