There are no factory methods in j.u.Splitrerators that accept Comparator as a parameter, and as you note below we do not expose the Spliterator impls. You could wrap/proxy a Spliterator instance, but i suspect you will find that ugly, so you probably need to roll your own implementation and duplicate as appropriate from the JDK impls. > From what I can tell, SortedSet's default > implementation uses a private IteratorSpliterator API. > Yes, and that is a poorly splitting Spliterator since the default implementation can only obtain elements from the Iterator. If your Spliterator covers an array you will probably want to implement better splitting. Hth, Paul.
