/**
 * 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>A stream implementation is permitted significant latitude in optimizing
 * the computation of the result.  For example, a stream implementation is free
 * to elide operations (or entire stages) from a stream pipeline -- and
 * therefore elide invocation of behavioral parameters -- if it can prove that
 * it would not affect the result of the computation.  This means that
 * side-effects of behavioral parameters may not always be executed and should
 * not be relied upon, unless otherwise specified (such as by the terminal
 * operations {@code forEach} and {@code forEachOrdered}). (For a specific
 * example of such an optimization, see the API note documented on the
 * {@link #count} operation.  For more detail, see the
 * <a href="package-summary.html#SideEffects">side-effects</a> section of the
 * stream package documentation.)
 *
 * <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}.
 * Operating on a stream after it has been closed will throw {@link IllegalStateException}.
 * Most stream instances do not actually need to be closed after use, as they
 * are backed by collections, arrays, or generating functions, which require no
 * special resource management. Generally, only streams whose source is an IO channel,
 * such as those returned by {@link Files#lines(Path)}, will require closing. If a
 * stream does require closing, it must be opened as a resource within a try-with-resources
 * statement or similar control structure to ensure that it is closed promptly after its
 * operations have completed.
 *
 * <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.

     * Returns a stream consisting of the results of replacing each element of
     * this stream with multiple elements, specifically zero or more elements.
     * Replacement is performed by applying the provided mapping function to each
     * element in conjunction with a {@linkplain Consumer consumer} argument
     * that accepts replacement elements. The mapping function calls the consumer
     * zero or more times to provide the replacement elements.

     * its application to the mapping function, the results are undefined.
     *
     * @implSpec
     * The default implementation invokes {@link #flatMap flatMap} on this stream,
     * passing a function that behaves as follows. First, it calls the mapper function
     * with a {@code Consumer} that accumulates replacement elements into a newly created
     * internal buffer. When the mapper function returns, it creates a stream from the
     * internal buffer. Finally, it returns this stream to {@code flatMap}.
     *
     * @apiNote
     * This method is similar to {@link #flatMap flatMap} in that it applies a one-to-many
     * transformation to the elements of the stream and flattens the result elements
     * into a new stream. This method is preferable to {@code flatMap} in the following
     * circumstances:
     * <ul>
     * <li>When replacing each stream element with a small (possibly zero) number of
     * elements. Using this method avoids the overhead of creating a new Stream instance
     * for every group of result elements, as required by {@code flatMap}.</li>
     * <li>When it is easier to use an imperative approach for generating result
     * elements than it is to return them in the form of a Stream.</li>
     * </ul>
     *
     * <p>If a lambda expression is provided as the mapper function argument, additional type
     * information may be necessary for proper inference of the element type {@code <R>} of
     * the returned stream. This can be provided in the form of explicit type declarations for
     * the lambda parameters or as an explicit type argument to the {@code mapMulti} call.
     *
     * <p><b>Examples</b>
     *
     * <p>Given a stream of {@code Number} objects, the following
     * produces a list containing only the {@code Integer} objects:
     * <pre>{@code
     *     Stream<Number> numbers = ... ;
     *     List<Integer> integers = numbers.<Integer>mapMulti((number, consumer) -> {
     *             if (number instanceof Integer i)
     *                 consumer.accept(i);
     *         })
     *         .collect(Collectors.toList());
     * }</pre>
     *
     * <p>If we have an {@code Iterable<Object>} and need to recursively expand its elements
     * that are themselves of type {@code Iterable}, we can use {@code mapMulti} as follows:
     * <pre>{@code
     * class C {
     *     static void expandIterable(Object e, Consumer<Object> c) {
     *         if (e instanceof Iterable<?> elements) {

     *                 expandIterable(ie, c);
     *             }
     *         } else if (e != null) {
     *             c.accept(e);
