RFR: 8015318: Extend Collector with 'finish' operation

[Arne Siegel]

Hi,

when reading the sources, I gut puzzled about 3 lines in ReduceOps.java:
 150      * @param <T> the type of the input elements
 151      * @param <I> the type of the intermediate reduction result
 152      * @param <I> the type of the final reduction result

My first thought was that the third of these three lines should be changed
from <I> to <R>.

Looking further, I got the impression that R could be eliminated altogether
as it is used nowhere inside of makeRef.

Looking even deeper, I'm wondering if makeRef shouldn't consider the
finisher method of Collector, maybe in the get method in the ReduceOp.
