And to make this extra fun, the maximum array size
you can create (for toArray etc) is less than
Integer.MAX_VALUE. See the odd constructions
strewn around collection implementations that
try to cope with this, but must still throw
exceptions when coping fails. This will be needed
for stream methods as well, regardless of Size-related
APIs.
