Arrays.stream() vs Stream.of()

[Michael Hixson]

I'm assuming that you prefer the Stream.of methods.  Are you proposing
that the Arrays.stream methods should be removed?  One issue with that
is that there is both:

  Arrays.stream(array)
  Arrays.stream(array, start, end)

It would be unfortunate to lose that second form or to have it without
the first, since the other Arrays methods have both forms.

Then there are the Arrays.parallelStream methods.  I'm guessing those
exist because Arrays.stream(array).parallel() is (maybe?) slightly
less efficient than Arrays.parallelStream(array), and the sort of
people who want to get down and dirty with arrays in the first place
are likely to care about that.  Those methods seem more at home on a
low-level utility class like Arrays than an interface like Stream.
