Ah, I see. Thanks for the detailed explanations!

Btw, it might be helpful to add that explanation to the readme. First time I discovered your Streams API and read "inspired by Java 8 Streams" I didn't understand what makes Java 8 Streams special since it I thought that Java 8 Streams were just the Java version of Seq/IEnumerable+LINQ.

Great suggestion, thnx for the feedback!
