Hi,

It may seem like a trivial question, but I'm a bit confused about use cases 
of Source.map vs. Source.via(flow).

For example, these two flows produce the exact same output:

    val flow1 = Source(1 to 10).map(_ * 2).to(Sink.foreach(println))
    val flow2 = Source(1 to 10).via(Flow[Int].map(_ * 2)).to(Sink.foreach(
println))

so why would anyone express this functionality with flow2?

Also, in the example given in this 
<https://softwaremill.com/replacing-akka-actors-with-akka-streams/> blog 
post, the first way (not using Flows) is used exclusively.

Thanks.
