In some respects i wonder if the default methods on the functional interfaces are an attractive nuisance.
Meaning, if .negate(Predicate) were a static method on the Predicate class instead of a default method, then stream.filter(Predicate.negate(String::isEmpty)) would be possible? Yeah… Yeah. We are now in the unfortunate position where to alleviate this problem we might require duplicate static and default methods. I have been sitting on the issue a bit and nearly closed it a few times :-)
I like Remi's solution. It may not be ideal, but it is very practical and easy to explain on Stack Overflow. Duplicate static/default methods would be much worse.
I also think that filterNot should be added to stream. Its just too common a case.
