  Stream<Integer> s = Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3, 4).stream();
  IntStream is = s.mapToInt(Integer::intValue);

Things have been moving fast so i don't know if the lambda build you used had the overloaded map methods or map/mapToInt etc.

Note that the IntStream.boxed is implemented as:

    public final Stream<Integer> boxed() {
        return mapToObj(Integer::valueOf);
    }

Perhaps we should document how boxed is implemented and how one can convert back?
