Collectors inventory

[Joe Bowbeer]

I don't know what toStatistics does and can't guess, so I don't favor
making it top-level on primitive streams.

I'd rather encapsulate this inside Collectors where there is a chance that
some overview documentation might explain what these more arcane
(user-friendly?) Collectors methods do.

I'm all in favor or name changes that make them more self-explanatory.
 toMap seems like a step in that direction.
