I'm still a little bit in disbelief about the proposal.
The spec for findAny would look like:

  * @return ... an absent Optional if no element matches
  * the given predicate, or if the predicate reports true for
  * a null argument and the stream contains a null element,
  * possibly even if the predicate also holds for another
  * nonnull element

OK?
