/**
 * Provides utility functions, and classes for working with the {@code java.util.stream} package, or more generally,
 * with Java 8 lambdas. More specifically, it attempts to address the fact that lambdas are supposed not to throw
 * Exceptions, at least not checked Exceptions, AKA instances of {@link Exception}. This enforces the use of constructs
 * like:
 *
 * <pre>
 * {@code
 * Consumer<java.lang.reflect.Method> consumer = m -> {
 *     try {
 *         m.invoke(o, args);
 *     } catch (Throwable t) {
 *         throw Failable.rethrow(t);
 *     }
 * };
 * stream.forEach(consumer);
 * }
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * Using a {@link FailableStream}, this can be rewritten as follows:
 * </p>
 *
 * <pre>
 * {@code
 * Streams.failable(stream).forEach((m) -> m.invoke(o, args));
 * }
 * </pre>
 *
 * Obviously, the second version is much more concise and the spirit of Lambda expressions is met better than in the
 * first version.
