Into (original) (raw)

Just to clarify, if these methods are added to Stream, we won't have any conflicts, as our methods appear on our Collections. But I think it might still be good to clarify the names.

We have methods to toSortedSet() and toSortedMap() that return SortedSet and SortedMap (as the names imply). We remain compatible back to Java 5, where NavigableSet and NavigableMap do not exist. I would request either calling the methods toNavigableSet()/toNavigableMap() and returning NavigableSet/NavigableMap or having both toSorted and toNavigable forms and returning the appropriately named types.
