API question/request: Array to Stream

[Gernot Neppert]

Oops, I hadn't noticed there were 2 factory methods at different places
doing exactly the same thing.
Won't this perpetually provoke the question "Which one should I use?"

Since java.util.Arrays has such a complete set of Stream-creation methods,
maybe one could drop Stream.of(T...) in favour of Arrays.stream(T...)?
