Would they would be so numerous to do this change without verifying if 
the specifications match? (on my side I do read the method javadoc). But 
even if we worry about developers not reading javadoc, the argument 
could go both ways: they could assume that all Stream methods accepts 
null and not read that Stream.toList() specifies otherwise.
