Yes indeed, but to add extra methods to the Iterable interface itself could have compatibility or possible security issues depending on whether these methods are abstract or not resp. Therefore I made it a fully separate interface here and used it in places with known implementations (Collection and Optional) so that there's no changes in the exposed API of the other classes. The only difference is that you can now make use of the fact that these interfaces extend Streamable and/or ParallelStreamable ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/5050
