Stream of a reverse list

[Brian Goetz]

We did consider such a stream op and triaged it away as bring too niche. It also requires a full barrier to get the first element.  And for infinite streams obviously blows up.  

Given that it always requires a full barrier, toArray seems the best way to go.
