> Combine docs for e.g. {{mergeAccumulators}} say
> "only the first accumulator may be modified and returned for efficiency; the other accumulators should not be mutated, because they may be shared with other code and mutating them could lead to incorrect results or data corruption."
> This is fine, but the API is odd: {{AccumT mergeAccumulators(Iterable<AccumT> accumulators)}} implies that all accumulators are treated equally.
> It has been suggested to create a new one more like {{AccumT mergeAccumulators(AccumT mutable, Iterable<AccumT> immutableAccums)}}
