             Summary: Add support for type conversion from Stream to array/collection/list/set
                 Key: GROOVY-10028
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-10028
             Project: Groovy
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: groovy-jdk
            Reporter: Eric Milles
            Assignee: Eric Milles


Consider the following:
{code:groovy}
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))
{code}

Groovy supports automatic/implicit conversion from array to array/collection/list/set.  And similarly for list to array or set.  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(...)"?
