Could you explain exactly when these trigger? Most Stream-related
operations should pick up spliterator, not iterator, so won't
encounter this.

I resist this a bit because it would require 6 more
methods, each redundant with a spliterator method.
(The HashMap view ones must be overridden in LinkedHashMap.)
But if the situation is common, it might be worthwhile.
