Sorry, I still don't buy it. If you want a specific implementation,
then my sense is that you will end up writing something like
the following anyway:

   Stream s = ...;
   SomeCollection dest = ...
   // add s to dest via (par/seq) forEach or loop or whatever

so why bother adding all the support code that people will probably
not use anyway in custom situations because, well, they are custom
situations. So to me, Reducers etc are in the maybe-nice-to-have
category.
