That makes sense, yes. As a utility method for adapting in situations 
where there's an unconsumed Iterator at hand and you have to provide a 
"well behaved" IterableOnce. I would call it IterableOnce.of(Iterator) 
as it does not really adapt the Iterator, but creates a factory with 
provided Iterator. Using this would be preferable to sprinkling ad-hoc 
expressions like:

(IterableOnce<T>) () -> iterator

as such IterableOnce instances would not conform to the spec.
