Stream and Iterator

[Brian Goetz]

Because the common understanding of "Iterable" is that you can 
repeatedly ask for an Iterator.  Yes, I know that the spec doesn't say 
that, but that's how it's understood.  Asking for an Iterator is not the 
common way of accessing a stream's elements; it's an escape hatch. 
Making it Iterable would only call attention to this and confuse people.
