Stream reuse in superclass

[Jose]

So, if I understood you, a rule to adapt old code based on Collections to 
the new paradigm would be something like: 

"try to produce streams instead of collections when possible, but keep on
consuming collections"

And that is your problem. You can not think of operations on a stream 
the way you would a collection, as a stream is not a collection. Your 
class that operated on the elements of the collection would now become 
an operation to be passed to a suitable stream method to be applied to 
each element.
