Multiple traversals

[Howard Lovatt]

Thanks for the reply. 

I was aware that summary stats existed, min and max were just an example.

Your implementation of the collector is better than mine, option 3 in original, so I will adopt your style from now on thanks. 

As I said in the original email I tend towards writing collectors, however they do force boxing (no Collector.ofDouble) and they are quite a lot of code to write.

Thanks again for your reply,
