Or could we put together something that is a kind of "Monkey See-Monkey Do" example set that overcomes a steep learning curve for the simple cases? I'd just like to see us get something adopted and an existing library has some advantages. So far, I don't think we've got one that provides a nice, simple answer for the nice, simple cases nor is there apparently one that will support Streams, so I imagine we'd be looking at doing some kind of enhancements anyway. But it would be nice to leverage something already in existence and already having some level of following.
