It "just works", but it doesn't try to split ;)

Spliterator is NOT a parallel execution framework.  It is the low-level 
adapter type that lets an arbitrary data structure (array, List, 
whatever) feed data into a parallel execution framework.  Think of it as 
the parallel analogue of Iterator, but the framework has to decide when 
to split.

Spliterator is not meant for most devs to use; only for developers of 
library-based aggregates.  EVeryone else will do:

   list.parallelStream().forEach(...)

and get what you are looking for.
