True, no direct equivalents for associateBy and associateWithValue.  But 
"collectEntries{ [it.toLowerCase(), it] }" is pretty succinct.

If you wanted to extend with just one new extension of collectEntries, I think 
".collectEntries(keyFun, Function.identity())" and 
".collectEntries(Function.identity(), valFun)" is the associateBy and 
associateWithValue.  Java streams gives you a lot of options here.  Guava 
provides "uniqueIndex" to do the same, but provides stronger checks on key 
uniqueness.
