>
> Streams API methods that apply transformations to streams are currently 
> invariant in the key and value types, when they should probably be 
> contravariant in those types.
> For instance, {{KStream.filter(Predicate<K, V> predicate)}} should be 
> {{KStream.filter(Predicate<? super K, ? super V> predicate)}} to accept 
> predicates that can act on any supertype of K, or V.
> Same thing applies to method that take {{Aggregator}}, {{StreamPartitioner}}, 
> {{KeyValueMapper}}, {{ValueMapper}}, {{ProcessorSupplier}}, {{ValueJoiner}}, 
> etc.
