Re: For JDK 9, annotating terminal operations?

If it doesn't return a stream, it's a terminal op :)

I think some people today are not knowing the difference between the
terminal and non-terminal operations. Correct me if wrong, but I believe
the terminal operations are collectively referred to as "reduce".

In any event, if terminal methods had a @Terminal annotation, then
developers and source-code analysis tools would know clearly when the true
work kicks-in.

Any thoughts?
