IntStream and collect

[Jose]

Yes, I don't care boxing the structure (byte[], short[], int[], BitSet). 

But I don't want to box all the ints, there might be the order 10^5 in a
typical case. 
The second boxing level is much more expensive.

If we did that, I suspect that about 5 minutes later, you'd find you still
need classes like IntArrayList, IntIntHashMap, etc, to get anywhere.  We
prototyped a Collector.OfInt and found there were almost no implementations
to be offered by the JDK.  Since the JDK options you've got mean boxing
anyway, a Collector.OfInt would only push the boxing one level down.
