Ok. Hopefully Ivan is unblocked now, but i don’t think it matters much which one gets in first now, given the implementation approach for this patch.

Looks good. I especially like:

 125             addCollection(l.andThen(list -> list.subList(0, list.size())));

Can you also update SpliteratorTraversingAndSplittingTest?

void addList(Function<Collection<T>, ? extends List<T>> l) {
    // @@@ If collection is instance of List then add sub-list tests
    addCollection(l);
}

Very nice, might be worth an extra comment noting that. Up to you.
