BaseStream & Stream

[Remi Forax]

Brian,
I think BaseStream (as supertype of Stream, IntStream, LongStream, etc) 
is not the best design.
I see the fact that an IntStream should be view as a BaseStream as an 
interopt issue,
I think it's better if IntStream has a method asStream that return a Stream,
i.e. a real Stream not a strawman stream as BaseStream currently is.

This design is in my opinion better because from the user point of view, 
there is only one interface, Stream.
Note that java.nio.Buffer has a similar design.

cheers,
Rémi
