Diamond operator vs into

[Brian Goetz]

We're hard at work on making this a temporary state!

(The problem is that diamond in nested generic method context ends up 
yielding typing constraints with inference variables on both sides.)

Though into() will likely go away in its current form, to be replaced 
with something more reduce-like (e.g., 
stream.accumulate(into(ArrayList::new)).
