Only a quick question first:

The original API had only:

Stream flatMap(MultiFunction<T,U> mf) where MultiFunction was (T, Consumer) -> void. If users already had a Collection lying around, they had to iterate it themselves: (element, sink) -> { for (U u : findCollection(t)) sink.accept(u); }

Could that simply be (t, sink) -> findCollection(t).forEach(sink) ?
