Description
Consider the following:
void test(source) {
Number[] array = source
println array.class
println array
Collection coll = source
println coll.class
println coll
List list = source
println list.class
println list
Set set = source
println set.class
println set
}
test(new int[] {1,2,3})
test(Arrays.asList(1,2,3))
test(Arrays.stream(1,2,3))
Groovy supports automatic/implicit conversion from array to array/collection/list/set. And similarly for list to array or set (a list is already a collection/iterable). Can the type conversion logic be extended to support java.util.stream.Stream as a source for array/collection/list/set to eliminate the need for ".toArray()", ".toList()", ".toSet()" and ".collect(...)" in common situations?
