API question/request: Array to Stream

[Millies, Sebastian]

Why can't I stream an array? It is awkward having to convert to a list first, cf.
this code by Venkat Subramaniam:

  public void setFilters(Function<Color, Color>... filters) {
        this.filter =
                Arrays.asList(filters).stream()                  // <----
                        .reduce((f, next) -> f.compose(next))
                        .orElse(Function.<Color>identity());
    }
