Hi all,
Please review and comment on this proposal to allow Stream instances to be used
in enhanced-for ("for-each") loops.
Abstract
Occasionally it's useful to iterate a Stream using a conventional loop. However,
the Stream interface doesn't implement Iterable, and therefore streams cannot be
used with the enhanced-for statement. This is a proposal to remedy that
situation by introducing a new interface IterableOnce that is a subtype of
Iterable, and then retrofitting the Stream interface to implement it. Other JDK
classes will also be retrofitted to implement IterableOnce.
Full Proposal:

Bug report:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8148917
Webrev:

Note, this changeset isn't ready to push yet. In particular, it has no tests
yet. However, the implementation is so simple that I figured I should include
it. Comments on the specification wording are also welcome.
Thanks,
s'marks
