BaseStream & Stream (original) (raw)

Brian, I think BaseStream (as supertype of Stream, IntStream, LongStream, etc) is not the best design. I see the fact that an IntStream should be view as a BaseStream as an interopt issue, I think it's better if IntStream has a method asStream that return a Stream, i.e. a real Stream not a strawman stream as BaseStream currently is.

This design is in my opinion better because from the user point of view, there is only one interface, Stream. Note that java.nio.Buffer has a similar design.

cheers, Rémi
