> I propose a simple solution. Let's allow ArraySpliterator to be non-SIZED and report artificial estimatedSize(), much bigger than the real one. This will allow AbstractSpliterator and IteratorSpliterator to produce prefix whose size is comparable to Long.MAX_VALUE (say, starting with Long.MAX_VALUE/2), and this will enable further splitting of the prefix. This change will drastically improve parallel streaming for affected streams of size <= 1024 and significantly improve for streams of size 1025..20000. The cost is higher-grained splitting for huge streams of unknown size. This might add a minor overhead for such scenarios which, I believe, is completely tolerable.

> I added a simple test using an artificial collector to ensure that at least two non-empty parts are created when parallelizing Stream.iterate source. More testing ideas are welcome.
