After an offline conversation with Doug, we're considering ditching cumulate from Streams. Reasons include:

1. Everybody looks at it and says WTF? And then has a YAGNI fit about throwing the kitchen sink into this API. 2. The form in which cumulation is exposed here -- stream in, stream out -- is really all that useful to algorithms that need it. It would be better to expose as an operation on Arrays instead.
