[Assuming stateful mappers are banned:]

Even if someone *does* come up with such a use case, e.g., (using current
semantics)

    s.parallel().x().sequential().y().terminal()

isn't it always possible to fake this with a custom collector that combines
y() and terminal()? (Or other mildly painful tricks.)
