> I want to be able to write something like:
> {code}
> TStream ...
>     .filter(Functions.not(Ranges.closed(100,200))) // true if outside [100..200]
> {code}
> The above creates only a single Range and single "not" predicate at topology construction time.
> If I made the following mistake I'd create a Range for every tuple:
> {code}
> TStream ...
>     .filter(t -> ! Ranges.closed(100,200).contains(t))
> {code}
> In the absence of a "not" Predicate like approach I'd have to explicitly allocate my range outside of the lambda:
> {code}
>     Range myRange = Ranges.closed(100,200);
>     TStream ...
>         .filter(t -> ! myRange.contains(t))
> {code}
> The implementation of "not" is trivial and seems like it might be useful in other cases:
> {code}
>     static <T> Predicate<T> not(Predicate<T> predicate) {
>         return t -> ! predicate.test(t);
>     }
> {code}
> Yes, I'd be trading off an additional {{Predicate.test()}} invocation per tuple  against the "out of line" myRange instantiation approach.  But I'd get to choose which was more important to me.
> Thoughts?
