Matt Benson commented on COLLECTIONS-286:
-----------------------------------------

My preference is for a compromise:  extractSingleton.  This seems to me the 
best complement to Collections.singleton().

> New util method: CollectionUtils.getSingleton(List<T> singletonList) which 
> returns the single object in the list or throws an exception
