ArrayFactory SAM type / toArray

[Brian Goetz]

That presumes you know the size of the result, or are willing to 
tolerate truncation/underflow.  There are cases where the stream knows 
the size but the client does not, and in those cases, treating array as 
a destination leaves the user with no way to get an array without extra 
copying.
